Re: ur-q build date identification.

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

I understand the year.  But the build NUMBER is the thing in question.  If
it was built in 81' or 82' then it should have a Build # of like 10 or
something.  Somewhere between 1 and 70 at least.  Anyhow, We'll know soon
enough I guess.
