As the requested change below has been dropped off the "to-do" list, another method for determining the version number of the install files, prior to installation, is to view the creation date of the file on the flash memory card and compare it to the list below. (Unless you trust that someone has labeled the flash card correctly.) The file creation date is viewable by inserting the flash memory card into the PCMCIA slot on a laptop and running Windows Explorer to list the flash card root directory.
For the fboot.nb0 file and the nk.bin file, I've created a list of the file creation dates, and their versions. Someone with the BallotStation install file archives can create a list of BS versions if they want to bother.

Could the BallotStation.ins, fboot.nbo, and nk.bin have the respective version number of the file written into a "Properties" info field?Currently, different versions of the file give no indication as to thefile's version number unless you install it on an R6 unit and run theprogram. I'd like to know the version of the file before installation. Ifyou right click on the file and select the "properties" item, perhaps thefile version number could be stored somewhere in the "summary" or "general"sections.Ian

I don't believe this is technically possible.
