Does this actually work? On all the machines I've tried, "extended info

for [alias]" doesn't return any version string at all.
No. If you go on to read the rest of the messages in that thread, you'll see
where I checked the Akua Dictionary and found that both long version and
short version are [r/o] - read-only, as I should have expected. You can set
other file properties with 'apply catalog info' but not version numbers -
they are what they are. If you read then rest of the thread you'll find
where someone explained how to set the version number of you own applets,
which I didn't take note of.
