Version.dopus5 v1.3 (21.5.97)
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Version.dopus5  is a small, handy module for Directory Opus v5.5+.
It  adds  a  handy  'version' function, searching for and displaying a
file's  version  number/information.   Once installed this new command
will appear in the pop-up command lists in DOpus editors.

    Version  information is shown in a small requester attached to the
source lister.

    As  of  version  1.3  all  selected files will be viewed one after
another. There is no need to select the 'do all files' flag. The
module will automatically find selected files.

Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Directory Opus v5.5
    ARexx
    An Amiga - if you can find one these days. :)

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Copy the script to DOpus5:modules/

    Directory Opus will then recognise the new command and you will be
able  to  select  'Version'  as the internal command for any button or
menu.

Usage
~~~~~

    Once  the script has been installed, select a file, or files, in a
source  lister  and  activate  the  button or menu item which contains
'Version'.


History
~~~~~~~

    Version.dopus5  started life as an ARexx script for Directory Opus
v4.12  Since  upgrading  to v5.5, I found the need for such a utility,
and  writing it proved to be an excellent way to gain some familiarity
with  manipulating  the  new  DOpus5 listers from within ARexx.  Still
proving   itself   to  be  an  excellent  test  program,  as  of  v1.2
Version.dopus5  has grown to become a module for DOpus instead of just
an ARexx script.

    v1.0    -   First release.

    v1.1    -   Requester now shows the selected filename as well.
                 Not all version strings contain the filename and
                 can lead to confusion.
    v1.2    -   Now a DOpus module - internal command for DOpus.

    v1.3    -   The module now works on ALL selected files.
                 Thanks to Roy E Brown for the suggestion.
