DESCRIPTION

	RevUp manages version strings following the Amiga standard for
	including in own programs, e.g. '$VER: YourTool 2.4 (11.9.95)'.

	It's a must for every serious C, Oberon or Assembler programmer,
	so have a look at it! Your makefiles together with RevUp will do
	all the work for you.

	RevUp <version> <projectname> {<dependency>} [REV <revision>]
	      [BETA] [C] [ASM] [OBERON] [LOG] [EXTRA] [ENVVAR] [TINY]

	Required:
	 VERSION     : Version number.
	 PROJECTNAME : Basename to use for all RevUp files.
	 DEPENDENCIES: Files which dates are checked.

	Optional:
	 REV   : Explicit revision number.
	 BETA  : Generate beta information.
	 C     : Generate C headerfile (default).
	 ASM   : Generate Assembly includefile.
	 OBERON: Generate Oberon definition module.
	 LOG   : Interactively add history info to logfile.
	 EXTRA : Generate extra information.
	 ENVVAR: Set envvar for archive naming.
	 TINY  : Don't print credits.


EXAMPLE

	> RevUp 1 SuperTool EXTRA

	generates SuperTool_rev.h:

	/* C headerfile generated by RevUp 1.3 */

	#define VERSION		1
	#define REVISION	1
	#define DATE	"12.7.95"
	#define VERS	"SuperTool 1.1"
	#define VSTRING	"SuperTool 1.1 (12.7.95)\\r\\n"
	#define VERSTAG	"\\0$VER: SuperTool 1.1 (12.7.95)"
	#define TIME	"14:57:51"
	#define PRGNAME	"SuperTool"
	#define BASENAME	"SUPERTOOL"
	#define VSTR	"SuperTool 1.1 (12.7.95)"
	#define USER	"boris"
	#define HOST	"prox"

	User and Host are imported from environment variables.


FEATURES

	o RevUp generates and maintains include and header files with

	  it offers a lot of additional features.

	o ANSI-C, Oberon and Assembly language supported.

	o Multiple dependency files.

	o Beta count management for beta versions included.

	o Interactive logfile generation.


CHANGES SINCE 1.3 (17.11.95)

	overwrite didn't already exist.
	NEW: UserName is now always appended to the log file, even if
	HostName is not set.
	NEW: TIME to logfile. VERSTAG to stdout. Empty log messages are now possible.
