It does but Zope provides less control over versions than you
would like for a document management system:

  You can not selectively control the versions of a document.
  You can only discard all (not current) versions older than
  a given time.

I suggest, you install my "DocFinder" product and look what
methods are provided by the relevant objects.

It also tells you about the class and its module (what you are calling
"library file") for the objects.
