OK, my current two RT instances are 3.8(production) and
4.05 (Development). The 3.8 system will move to 4.06 soon.
Use of REST is a possibility but would be mission creep at
the moment.
To avoid problems it would be useful to be able to get the RT version
numbers programmatically for:
(i) local RT API libraries
(ii) remote host [this could use REST] if the local API does not
support it.
