So you want me to change that to:
Welcome to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (Yitzi's patch version 2.3c).

That should be doable...

If it's convenient for you.
To me, it looks like the easiest solution to EarthMichael's request.

I've definitely seen you around.  Would you like to be wearing one of those?
The second one, if it doesn't bother you too much. I rarely play SMAC these days, but my interest was aroused by all these patches...

No sweat.  I can try something else if the re-proportioning is a problem.

That'll do it.  Yitzi's latest is getting rave reviews.

The poll should be adjusted to a multiple choice option.  ;)

That would involve adding options, but I could edit to do that, and add 'no patch' while I'm in there. 

Gimme a list and I will.

The listed options fit my installations, so...

Oh, perhaps besides your 'no patch' proposal, 'other' or 'modding version' as well.

Turns out there's only ten fields for poll questions, but I've added that and voted now.

But it's not multiple choice?   :(

I'll go see if there's an admin panel polls setting to make that possible right now.

@Yitzi - To add version #, right click on terranx.exe, select Properties, go to the Summary tab.  I do this myself, but it alters the timestamp, which is why it would be good if you did this.
Your agonizer, please.

Huh.  After a little research, it seems Microsoft removed the Summary tab after Win XP.  In a thread about this at answers.microsoft.com someone suggested this File Metadata utility.  I'm using XP, so I have no idea if it works.
Your agonizer, please.
