SUMMARY
=======

The Version() function in Visual FoxPro has a few new features that provide more
product information than did previous versions of FoxPro. Depending on the
positive non-zero integer you pass to the Version() function, you will receive
different and sometimes more detailed information.

Parameter    What is returned
----------------------------------------------
1            Returns version and serial number
2            Returns version type:
              0 = Runtime version
              1 = Standard version
              2 = Professional version
3            Returns the country of origin
             00 = American/English
             33 = French
             34 = Spanish
             49 = German and so on...

NOTE: If you pass a numeric parameter other than 1, 2, or 3, the function returns
an 'Invalid function argument value, type, or count' error message.
