.TE
.PP
The long integer returned by 
.I version 
is a hex number rather than an ASCII
string for easier parsing by the application program. 
The hex number has the same three fields in the format 0xf1f2f3, 
where each field is one byte.
.SH EXAMPLE
For example the hex number:
.sp
.ce
.ft CM
0x080806
.ft R
.sp
returned by
.I version
is equivalent to the ASCII string:
.sp
.ce
.ft CM
8;8;6
.sp
.ft R
given in response to the escape sequence \f3<ESC>[c\f1.
This version number corresponds to Release 1.1 of the 630
MTG.
