MS-DOS version numbers are ALWAYS an integer, a period, then a two digit
decimal number (stored internally in binary). There was never a DOS
version "3.3", but there was a "3.30". It was internally stored as 3
and
THIRTY. (1E03) Ver "6.2" was actually 6 and TWENTY, etc. (1406)
Were Windoze versions stored similarly?
If so, then "3.1" was actually 3 period TEN, (0A03)?
and "3.11" was actually 3 period ELEVEN. (0B03)?
