I am currently running 4.2.1.20 on most of my Windows servers, and have seen a 
few messages about 4.2.1.30. Is this for another OS?. I looked at the ftp site 
and it shows only 4.2.1.23 (patch for security problem).
 
I was planning to upgrade all my Window boxes and just want to make sure that I 
am putting on the lastest and greatest...
 
Thanks
 
Joe
