    Console.WriteLine("The string representation of the" +
                      " version is {0}.",
                      vers.ToString());
    Version clone = (Version) vers.Clone();
    Console.WriteLine("The original version was" +
                      " successfully cloned.");
    Console.Write("The string representation of the" +
                  " cloned version is {0}.",
                  clone.ToString());
