I could have sworn, though, that I read somewhere that a differential

if you ran a level 6 and then another level 6 that the second level 6
would simply go back to the previous
6, not the previous lower number. Maybe it's the Unix 'dump' utility I'm
thinking of that has that feature?
The traditional BSD dump command used the "less than" rule like
Networker. I do however remember one UNIX variant that used a "less than
or equal" rule - I want to say it was HP/UX, but I'm not sure.
