I was confused because this file used to be "displayable" with the cat
command (which is very handy to do this kind of thing).
I can guess that your prompt has probably gotten fancier. But
regardless this is a good thing to find anyway. Because shouldn't
that troublesome VERSION file have a newline at the end? Sounds like
a worthwhile task to go poke at on that project.
The program (namely displaycal: https://displaycal.net/) is not written
specifically for Linux and not on a Linux system.
This is a Python program and the author uses MS Windows (c) (r) with
"some" EDI.
Probably this file is used to concatenate (!) it with other files (there
is also a VERSION_BASE file) and this is used internally by the program
at build time.
