Thanks very much for this code!

I guess my question is, what will happen with version 7.5 and version 8.  Will
that third term continue to increase, or will it go back to 1?  That is, will
it look like:

8.1.92.1234

or

8.1.01.1234

In the second case, the above code would give the error on the first release of
8, while in the first case we'll pretty soon be into three-digit release
numbers which would cause it's own problem.

What's the official word?  (In the meantime I'll use the code you sent, thanks
again).
