Output file format
embossversion writes just the version number followed by a newline
character to end the line.
The output is written to the screen by default, but can be written to a
named file by using the '-outfile' option.
The version number is in three parts, separated by '.'s.
The first number is the major version number - this only changes when
substantial changes have been made to the look-and-feel of EMBOSS.
The second number is the minor version number - this is incremented
whenever a version is released.
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.
Data files
None.

embossversion might be called by scripts in automated systems requiring
versioning information, or in user-support as a convenient way to
ascertain the version of an EMBOSS installation being used remotely.
