===================

NAME
    EXTRAVERSION - Find the extra version string (non-Amiga version) and the
    common VER string.

FORMAT
    EXTRAVERSION [<library|script|file>] [FULL|VSTRING|VER=VERSTAG|VERIFY|HELP]

TEMPLATE
    NAME, FULL/S, HELP/S, VSTRING/S, VER=VERSTAG/S, VERIFY/S

FUNCTION
    EXTRAVERSION finds the extra version number of a library,	command,
    script or simply any file where the extra version string has been has been
    correctly set.

COMMANDS
    EXTRAVERSION with no <library|script|file> argument prints the name and
    extra version string.

    FULL  - Outputs name, extraversion, date and the comment in the extra
    version string (in the same line). 

    VSTRING - Outputs the complete extra version string (including $EXTVER:
    or $VER:).

    VER=VERSTAG - Finds the $VER: tag instead of $EXTVER:.
   	
    VERIFY - Displays parsed-out/fetched information.

    To add an extra version string to your file, make sure that the file
    contains a string of characters that represent the extra version string.

    yyyy	            - Year using four digits
