Function
</H2>
Writes the current EMBOSS version number
<H2>
Description
</H2>
This small utility writes out the current version of the EMBOSS package.
<p>
It is expected that this may have a use in scripts which automatically
write descriptions of the state of the EMBOSS package that is set up
locally.
<p>
It will also be a useful way for people to ascertain what version is
being run if they are giving user-support to people in another site.

Input file format
</H2>
None.
<p>
<H2>
Output file format
</H2>
<p>
<b>embossversion</b> writes just the version number followed by a
newline character to end the line.
<p>
The output is written to the screen by default, but can be written to a
named file by using the '-outfile' option.
<p>
<p>
The version number is in three parts, separated by '.'s.
<br>
The first number is the major version number - this only changes when substantial changes have been made to the look-and-feel of EMBOSS.
<br>
The second number is the minor version number - this is incremented whenever a version is released.
<br>
The third number is usually '0' but if a minor bug fix has been released that does not warrant a minor version number, this will be incremented.
