Oh sorry , that version info lol..
Yeah seems to be 3.8, 3.15 & 3.18 only.

I've mostly only wanted to go back as far as 3.12 for compatibility (old
debian default) and found I had to set it to 3.8 to get it to work as
setting GB_PCODE_VERSION to 3.12 didn't work. So my progs are 3.12
compatible not 3.8 but meh , it's cool :)

And yesterday , everything seemed to stop working yesterday till Ben fixed
the glitch.
:)
