Looks like Microsoft forgot to change the vers resource when they
released version 3.02 of Word.  I was looking around w/ ResEdit, and
noticed that the vers resource had the bytes $3033 3031 in it, which
are 0301 in ASCII.  Because of this, when you do a Get Info from finder
in System 6.0, it says that you have Microsoft Word version 3.01.  At
least the Comments say that it is version 3.02.

I wonder how many other applications have this anomaly.
