	Is there a standardized version numbering system used
for computer software?  It seems there are so many different
formats of version levels (e.g. 3.0, 3.03, 3.0.3, 3.0-1, 3.03f,
B3.03, etc.) that I have no idea which one to use for my own
software.  I suppose most people just use the format that their
their source code librarian uses, but I am not using one.

	References? Ideas?
