Surely there are other programs. There must be various factoring efforts
running on non-Intel processors under non-Microsoft operating systems.

I took the 4-byte number present in your first recent post to be the
version information of the program that generated the file, not the
file standard version. After rereading Brian's comments and your reply
to him, I think I get it; Brian's modification adds the program version
levels, and the original had the standard's version.
