Applications generally do *NOT* use the version number in the |
| 10 |
executable name, or even the fact that they're a "bin" version. You |
| 11 |
just supply the base filename on the commandline. E.g., I have |
| 12 |
"libreoffice-bin-3.3.2" installed. It is launched with the command |
| 13 |
"libreoffice". I have "gimp-2.6.11" installed. It is launched with the |
| 14 |
command "gimp". |

A few programs allow multiple versions. They have the real executable |
| 17 |
in a working directory, and a symlink in /etc/usr/bin which points to |
| 18 |
the real executable. So you launch the main version with the regular |
| 19 |
command. You can also launch other installed versions by supplying the |
| 20 |
full pathname to its working directory. |
