  I don't recall having seen this in infovax, and can't help you if you want
  to get the information lots of times from lots of files.  However, you can
  easily write a DCL script to do it if execution time isn't critical.  The
  strategy is to use the "ANALYZE/IMAGE/OUTPUT=filename" command to generate
  a file which has the version number in an easily findable place, then the
  SEARCH command to select the record with the information.  An OPEN, a READ,
  a CLOSE, a string assignment using F$EDIT and F$ELEMENT, and a DELETE command
  then get you the version number and delete the scratch files.
