I'm not really sure how to interpret this question. There is only one
"version" of LightWave. It is recompiled or adapted to suit the requirements
of each particluar platform.

For example, the Amiga version can not support openGL, so those features are
"removed" from the code before compiling. As I understand it, the difference
between all the Windows NT "versions" is that the compiler must be told which
platform to compile the .exe for. The differences appear at the hardware
level, like what sort of alignment is used and storage byte order.

Hope this helps.
