NT was designed by the same person that built VMS, but VMS uses ";" to
separate version numbers as its a versioning filesystem.
How did it go from versions to 'content streams' between the two O/S's??
And why aren't other operating systems using versioning implicitly?
At one company where I worked, our version control system *was* the
operating system, thanks to VMS, and it worked very well. Oh how I miss
VMS....
