Type:     util/sys

VersionWB is a replacement for the usual AmigaDos Version command,
which also may check the version of packed files by utilizing
the 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-), except for the bugs :)

* 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 files in your shell-path

Recent changes:

V.2.15 (30.04.2000) PUBLIC UPDATE
-------------------------------
BUGFIX: Referenced illegal memory location on some system configurations every time
VersionWB was run since v.2.13, causing crashes on these machines. This probably
only happen if many romtag modules were installed.
Thanks to Jens Langner for the report!

V.2.14 (08.04.2000) PUBLIC UPDATE
-------------------------------
NEW: VersionWB is GiftWare. You now could register online. See the guide for more info.
BUGFIX: There was an Enforcer hit when one checked the version of a volume.
There are no version for volumes anyway, just devices.
Bug reported by Mario Cattaneo. Thanks!
BUGFIX: Didn't search in LIBS: and DEVS: when only a library or device name was
given as argument.
NEW: The info which is output when no arguments are specified. The latest
CGX is using cgxsystem.library instead of cybergraphics.library.
Thanks Mario Cattaneo for reporting this!
BUGFIX: Failed to find the version of some resident programs and modules.
BUGFIX: If you started VersionWB like this: 'VersionWB asl.library libs:'
to get the version of the resident asl.library and later the version
of the one in the libs: there where some garbage in the bottom of the requester.
BUGFIX: It thought it found a version if a nonexisting volume name, e.g. dsds:, was
given as argument.

This program is Gift-Ware.
