Is there a way to use strings in expressions in ZMAC, so I can do
the following more efficiently:

VersDD		equ	06
VersMM		equ	11
VersYY		equ	2000

	DEFB '0'+(VersDD / 10)
	DEFB '0'+(VersDD MOD 10)
	DEFB "-"
if VersMM=1
	DEFB 'Jan'
endif
if VersMM=2
	DEFB 'Feb'
endif
if VersMM=3
	DEFB 'Mar'
endif
if VersMM=4
	DEFB 'Apr'
endif
etc....

In my PDP11 assembler I'd do:
VersDD:		equ	06
VersMM$:		equ	"Nov"
VersYY:		equ	2000
	DEFM '0'+(VersDD/10),'0'+(VersDD MOD 10)
	DEFM "-"+VersM$+"-"+STR$(VersYY)
