I don't know of a way to universally add text to any file without it
affecting the file. You might do something like add an additional file
stream to the end of the file, but I'm not sure that wouldn't break some
file formats. I've seen people tack on text to the end of a .EXE since the
..EXE would just ignore it.

The stream here is different than just the typical C++ iostream of course.

Hi Eric,

I must have misunderstood OP. I thought they were looking for how to
update the version number in their own progrram, but you're right this
could be read either way. If OP is looking for a way to change the
version in someone else's program this tool would likely do it, but that
sounds like a scary thing to do (assuming the version is correct in the
first place).

In case OP is interested:
