Version identifiers are not decimals and should not be treated as such. Consider:

1.0
1.1
1.2
...
1.8
1.9
1.10
1.11

Those are in order of increasing version, but not numeric or lexographic order.

Keep it as a string, or switch to an array of integers.

I know it's garbage, but I had to check.

nevercast, uhm. if you're pointing out it compares the first part of the string, then I would think that was rather obvious. Unless they change the name of CraftOS or change their version numbering conventions, the direct string comparison should work at least until version 10.x or x.10, at which point the new version will register as < the earlier, required version, and anyone using this will be forced to update their programs.

"b" comes after "a".

Yeah heard that it's the sum of the bytes of the string that are used for the compare.
