     15 * NAME is ignored; typically it is the app name.  It may not containt underscores.
    1716 * VERSION is a string of the form N.M, where N and M are integers with M<100.  This is converted to the single integer N*100 + M, which is used to specify application versions elsewhere in BOINC. M may have a leading zero, which is ignored.
    1817 * PLATFORM is the name of a platform in the database (if needed, [XaddTool add the platform to the DB]).

    3029If your application includes executable files other than the main file, make sure that their protection flags include the user execute (u+x) bit (`update_versions` will then set the `<executable/>` flag on its [XmlFormat#file_info <file_info>]).
