A few comments on this. Ranges 1.002.*, 1.003.*, 1.004.* and 1.005.* 
(possibly others) are used for non-PC games. Versions such as 1.ECO.013 
are forks where the last three digits were most likely reset to 000 at 
the time of forking. As such these versions cannot be directly compared 
to version numbers in the regular 1.000.* range nor to those of other forks.
