  - CompareVerNums - compares two version number records.
  - VerNumToStr - formats a version number as a dotted quad.
+ Updated TPJVersionNumber topic in help file re changes.

Release v3.1.1 of 11 December 2005
+ Changed component to Mozilla public license.
+ Fixed minor bug in VIDemo project.
+ Revised HelpEgs demo project to access related help file topics.
+ Updated help file to make examples available from component's main page.
+ Updated HTML documentation.

Release v3.1 of 07 September 2003
+ Fixed to be compatible with C++ Builder - direct access to fields of TVSFixedFileInfo in property declarations were replaced by calls to an indexed property getter function.

Release v3.0.1 of 08 July 2003
+ Changed component palette from PJSoft to DelphiDabbler.
+ Updated HTML documentation.
+ Changed copyright message in help file.

Release v3.0 of 17 February 2002
+ Added ability to access all "translations" stored in a file's version information, rather than just first one. This has been done so that code using earlier versions of this component should continue to work unchanged.
+ Added new property to expose fixed file information record.
+ Added new "string array" property to give access to string information by name: this property can access any custom string information if the name is known.
+ Added properties to return number of "translations" and to select index of "translation" to be used.
+ Added properties to return language and character set codes in addition to descriptive strings.
+ All string info, language and character set properties now return values from the currently selected translation (which defaults to the first translation maintaining backward compatibilty).
+ Empty FileName property now accesses name of host application per command line rather than using Application.ExeName.
+ CharSet property now returns '' for unknown value rather than 'Unknown'.
+ Renamed TVersionNumber record to TPJVersionNumber.
+ Replaced Tvs_FixedFileInfo record with use of Windows unit defined type TVSFixedFileInfo.
+ Renamed unit to PJVersionInfo.
+ Changed component palette from "PJ Stuff" to "PJSoft".
+ Added two demo programs, one is a sample version information reading program and the other implements examples from the help file.

Release v2.1 of 28 November 1999
+ Changed unit name from VerInfo to VInfo to allow component to install under Delphi 3 & 4 (VerInfo clashes with an existing unit in these versions).
+ Removed superfluous conditional compilation directives.

Release v2.0.1 of 08 July 1999
+ Changed palette where component installs to "PJ Stuff" from "Own".
+ Added HTML documentation (shared documentation with Release 1.0.1).
+ Included 16 bit Version Information Component release v1.0.1

Un-released v2.0 of 06 December 1998
+ Forked development - 32 bit development (this fork) began with v2.0 while the 16 bit version continued with v1.0.1
+ Revised for use with Win32 - not backwards compatible with v1.0

Un-released v1.0 of 26 April 1998
+ Original version - 16 bit only.
