Short: V2.9d AmigaDos Version replacement. Author: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Håkan Parting) Uploader: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Håkan Parting) Type: util/sys VersionWB is a replacement for the usual AmigaDos Version command, which now uses XfdMaster.library if available. If you want the version information to be presented in a requester, this program is for you. Instead of like c:version just tell the version and revision number by default, VersionWB always tells you all it could find. VersionWB have these features: * It will bring up a requester with the version information. * It support several files in the command line parameter template. * You can shift-doubleclick an icon with VersionWB and then get all that version stuff. * You may also pick the file you want to know the version number of by using a file requester. * It will find version strings in WB1.3 libraries and devices, c:version does not, e.g. narrator.device. * If you use it with ToolManager you can have an appicon in your Workbench. Drop the icon on the appicon, and the version information will be presented (if the file contains a version string :-) * It also has an optional text output. * It recognizes any packed file (uses xfdmaster.library). * All other features of AmigaDos Version, as far as I know 8-). * Can be opened on a publicscreen * Can set the filenote of files to there versioninfo. * Can set the filedate to the one found in the version string * Finds even files in your shell-path Recent changes: V.2.9c (31.12.97) PUBLIC UPDATE ------------------------------- BUGFIX: The output changed when it was redirected or when LIKECVER was specified. Wrong revision number showed up and misc-info was missing. BUGFIX: The revisionnumber was parsed wrongly, so if the REVISION argument was used the result would be wrong. Bugs reported by Andrija Antonijevic. Thanks! BUGFIX: VersionWB REQ QUIET should not open an requester. V.2.9d (31.03.98) PUBLIC UPDATE ------------------------------- BUGFIX: Fixed problem with truncated long date-strings. Reported by Nuno Maltez. Thanks! BUGFIX: The date should be in locale short format if LIKECVER is specified. If not it is not compatible to AmigaDos Version. BUGFIX: Could crash if one entered a non-existent filename in the file- requester. It tried to search for it in the shell-path, which is not possible under Workbench. Bug reported by Thomas Steinbichler. Thanks! NEW: Added arguments: SHORTDATE for short date strings, and DOSDATE for autoconversion of the date to dos-format (31-Mar-98) This program is Gift-Ware.
