I might better get rid of the - and put 2.0.0.alpha20020910a or
something instead. That should satisfy RPM. Users that actually install
may have to use rpm -Uhv --oldpackage to install a newer alpha when they
update from a beta, but that's a minor annoyance.

Thanks. I did things slightly differently, particularly, programs should
be installed as root/root to prevent the programs from tampering with
themselves should a security bug be found later.

I just tried the new .spec file with RPM 3.0.6 and it worked (but I did
not try to run it when installed from RPM).

This is what a "COMPILED" .spec file looks like now. I'd be interested
if YOUR system compresses the man pages automatically (SuSE Linux 7.3
does) or if I must do it manually.
