Here's the script.  It's also on sonata as
pub/next/lore/version.  I'll add some more error
checking and junk later.  Make sure you set the modes right
on it (readable and executable for whomever). 

To use, just give it filenames of programs you want to
check, like "version /LocalApps/*" and it does the rest. 
I'm no sh wizard, but I do OK. :-)

Thanks for the tips.  I rummaged through my morgue and made
it a little more robust. :-)
