Open the file into a binary viewer (TextPad, NotePad, etc). In the first line or two it should have a version level in it.

There is also a handy utility called "which version" or at least the executable is named which_version.exe. I don't remember where I got it, but the copyright on the file is by Didier Lacour, and the company name is "Ecole Centrale de Lyon". I have the French version, but I'm pretty sure there is an English version out there too.

I believe this is where I obtained the file, but don't see it attached here anymore.

Jim is right. Open CATIA file in a text editor and search the string MinimalVersionToRead . Its working no meter what OS are you using.

Just use this Perl code:
==================================
$/ = "\0";
while (<>) {
while (/([\040-\176\s]{4,})/g) {
$string = $1;
if($string =~ m#(\d+)/(\d+)/#){
$ver = $1;
$rel = $2;
printf "V%dR%d",$ver,$rel;
}
}
}
=====================================
