Stack version?

[Bill Vlahos]

I was wondering how others deal with versionioning their stacks. I don't mean the standalones which already have version information but regular stacks.

I have a stack that is opened by a standalone stub. The standalone won't change much but the program stack that is opened will. I want to be able to do updates from the Internet that essentially replaces the stack.

To do this I need to standardize on a way to code a version number in the stack and then compare the version the user has with that on the web server. If the web server version is newer I want to give the user the ability to download the new version which would replace the old version.

I can come up with a way to do this but I'm pretty sure there are more experienced Revolutionaries on this list have have thought this over already.
