but we're not talking about file or product names, holger... we're talking

like this one above (with two dashes instead of three)... if you were using
multimail for OS/2, it could easily be
  --- MM/2 some.version.number

 HG> --- PCBoard (R) v15.22 (OS/2) 2

that's all that's being said... nothing else... tag line not withstanding... it 
was already selected by the program before anything was written ;)
