Version Number Revolutionist's Club

        We thank you for taking a few moments of your time to read this
    message that the author of this software has made accessable to you to
    assist in enlightening your mind.  We would like to bring to your 
    attention the ever important movement that is supported by our Not-Well
    known organization.  We are a small faction known as the V.N.R.C. or
    (Version Number Revolutionist's Club.)  The name quite clearly explains
    our purpose, but We will attempt to help you in understanding our goal.
    
        Our goal is to help control the methods that all software authors
    determine the version numbers that are released with all the software
    packages they have created for our use.  The following is a list of
    the different ways you as a computer programer can help our cause.
    Please choose one of these methods for determining your software version
    numbers.
    
       1)  Start all version numbers at 1,000,000 and count down.
       
       2)  Express all version numbers in the form of an unformated real
              number.
              
       3)  Include two different version numbers in each program, allowing
              each user to choose which one he would like to use.

       4)  Include in your programs a Random Number Generation procedure
              that will be called every time your version number is displayed
              thus changing the number for every call to the program.
              
       5)  Express all version numbers in the form of a differential Equation
              that must be solved in order to determine the version number.
              
       6)  Simply say 'This version is newer than the last version I released.'
       
       7)  Display date instead of version number.
       
       8)  Replace version number with number of cups of coffee you drank
              while writting the program.
              
       9)  Simply use the word 'Guess!'
       
      10)  Combine any of the above choices.  But please be sure they are used
              in a manner that allows for simple decifering.
              
       We would like to greatly thank you for your assistance in this matter.
   With out your help, our organization will not be able to grow and version
   numbers will continue to make absolutly no sense at all.
