I realize you would normally want to track more than this, but:
If you open a stack as a text file, not as a stack, you'll see that lines 1 to 3
look like this:
#!/bin/sh
# MetaCard 2.3 stack
# The following is not ASCII text,
(DON'T save the stack while opened this way!)
Rudimentary version info is built into the stack header. I suspect it's used by
the MC engine to verify that the stack's file format is the one expected by the
engine.
FWIW.
