Roman numerals in software versioning should make a comeback.

The Cicero-approved desktop of MS-DOS programs from this moricons.dll set would include these:

Applause II 1.5

Framework III

Crosstalk-XVI 3.71

PC Paintbrush IV Plus

And of course you’d want dBase III+ and Deluxe Paint II Enhanced.

No thanks. Then it just causes confusion when some people use the roman numerals and other people convert them to arabic numerals. Especially for cases like Applause and Crosstalk mentioned above.
