File Version Information

    The following is a basic overview of file version information:
    Version information for a file is unique to the Macintosh file system. Not all files have version information, in fact, most don't.
    Application programs, control panels, and other non–documents often have version information.
    Version information for binary files is stored in the file's resource fork. Version information for bundled applications is stored in the application's property list file.
    Most files with version information have two 'vers' resources. Each one can contain both numeric and textual version information.
    The info window only displays the text portion of the version information.
