Exactly. Note that the _version number_ Heather's talking about is the one
in the database header. If you're using CodeWarrior, this is specified in
the PalmRez Post Linker target settings panel, just below the Creator (ID).
This should not be confused with the _version string_. This is a 'tver'
resource. If you use Constructor, it's specified in the Project Settings at
the bottom of the window, just below the Application Icon Name. As a general
rule, you should "increment" both the version number and the version string
with each release of your application. The version number is used by Palm OS
to determine which version is newer. The version string is displayed to the
user in the Launcher's Info dialog.

Here's my previous post on this subject, which has a few more details:
