Just an additional information. One rule in the comparison. b is always greater than RC. But this rule will change if the first 4 numbers of the version is greater than the old one. Do you have any suggestion, if it is ok I will have the comparison 1 by 1?

Name
       strcoll - string collation comparison

Syntax
       int strcoll (s1, s2)
       char *s1, *s2;

Description
       The function returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero depending on whether the string pointed to by s1 is lexicographi-
       cally less than, equal to, or greater than the string pointed to by s2.

       The function performs the comparison by using the collating information defined in the program's locale, category

       In the C locale, characters collate as if they are unsigned.  In all cases works as if were called on s1 and s2,  and  was  called  on  the
       resulting strings.

       LANG	      If  this	environment  is  set  and valid, uses the international language database named in the definition to determine the
