   As I pointed out in my reply to the original query, Amiga version strings
don't use decimal points, they use periods.  There's a difference:
   $12.95 -> dollar value using decimal point
   156.46.88.37 -> IP address using periods
   When talking about Amiga version strings, you say "one DOT nine" or "one
DOT two-five."  The RKRMs are very specific on this point.
