      Dim fmtInt As String = "Interim version:" & vbCrLf & _
                             "  major.minor.build.revision = {0}.{1}.{2}.{3}"

      Dim std As New Version(2, 4, 1128, 2)
      Dim interim As New Version(2, 4, 1128, (100 << 16) + 2)

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(fmtStd, std.Major, std.Minor, std.Build, std.Revision) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(fmtInt, interim.Major, interim.Minor, interim.Build, _
