Problems with version check

hi,
i need to compare 2 versionnumbers. at the first time this versionnumbers always had 2 digits, now some of them have 3 or even 4 digits. is there a way to check them absolutely correctly?

at this time i use this macro:
!macro VersionCheck
  Exch $0 ;second versionnumber
  Exch
  Exch $1 ;first versionnumber
  Push $R0 ;counter for $0
  Push $R1 ;counter for $1
  Push $3 ;temp char
  Push $4 ;temp string for $0
  Push $5 ;temp string for $1
  StrCpy $R0 "-1"
  StrCpy $R1 "-1"
  Start:
  StrCpy $4 ""
  DotLoop0:
  IntOp $R0 $R0 + 1
  StrCpy $3 $0 1 $R0
  StrCmp $3 "" DotFound0
  StrCmp $3 "." DotFound0
  StrCpy $4 $4$3
  Goto DotLoop0
  DotFound0:
  StrCpy $5 ""
  DotLoop1:
  IntOp $R1 $R1 + 1
  StrCpy $3 $1 1 $R1
  StrCmp $3 "" DotFound1
  StrCmp $3 "." DotFound1
  StrCpy $5 $5$3
  Goto DotLoop1
  DotFound1:
  Strcmp $4 "" 0 Not4
    StrCmp $5 "" Equal
    Goto Ver2Less
  Not4:
  StrCmp $5 "" Ver2More
  IntCmp $4 $5 Start Ver2Less Ver2More
  Equal:
  StrCpy $0 "0"
  Goto Finish
  Ver2Less:
  StrCpy $0 "1"
  Goto Finish
  Ver2More:
  StrCpy $0 "2"
  Finish:
  Pop $5
  Pop $4
  Pop $3
  Pop $R1
  Pop $R0
  Pop $1
  Exch $0
!macroend 
best wishes
