Description brant 2002-11-04 05:19:14 UTC 
Version information should be included in executables.  This aids crash
capturing software to associate crashes by version as well as signature.  It
also tells useful information.  Commonly included data are:
Company: OpenOffice.org
Product: OpenOffice
Version: 1.1.643
Copyright: Copyright © 2002 OpenOffice.org

For an example of what I mean, do the following:
1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Navigate to your Windows folder.
3. Right-click explorer.exe > Properties.
4. Click the version tab.

For an example of how this can be implemented, see the similar bug for Mozilla
at <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136673>.

Martin, 

we don't seem to have the version number in the about box. 
I assume you know better to whom to assign this, in case we 
want to include that.
