check_version() {
: <<inline_doc
      Tests for a minimum version level. Compares to version numbers and forces an 
        exit if minimum level not met.
      NOTE: This test will fail on versions containing alpha chars. ie. jpeg 6b
    
    usage:	check_version "2.6.2" "`uname -r`"         "KERNEL"
		check_version "3.0"   "$BASH_VERSION"      "BASH"
		check_version "3.0"   "`gcc -dumpversion`" "GCC"

    input vars: $1=min acceptable version
    		$2=version to check
		$3=app name
    externals:  --
    modifies:   --
    returns:    nothing
    on error:	write text to console and dies
    on success: write text to console and returns
