$VER: DoVer V1.4 (07.03.96)
	      =====================

Introducing
  DoVer searchs version strings ("$VER...") in files. Optional the version
  string will written to the file comment.
  If xfd.library is available files will unpacked before scanned.
  If xfd.library is available executable files without a "$VER" will
  relocated and scanned for a resident structure ($4AFC), this will find
  the version of libraries, devices and handlers.
  
  The idea of copying the version string to the file-comment is not from me,
  but from Drago Fiser's tool v2c (aminet:util/cli/v2c.lha), thanks to you !
  
  
Requirements
  Kickstart 2.0 (V37) or better

Installation
  just copy DoVer anywhere you like (e.g. C:)
  for decrunching and relocating the xfd-package must be installed
   (aminet:util/pack/xfd112.lha)


Using
  - open a Shell and type in "DoVer <name_of_file>"
    DoVer will load the file and output the version string if found
  - DoVer is PURE and can made resident
  - see CLI-Convention for further details


The CLI-Convention
  - Template :
	DoVer	FILE/A,DEFAULT/K,SHORT/S,FORCE/S,APPEND/S,PREPEND/S,
		CONVERTDATE/S,QUIET/S,NOCOMM/S

	FILE/A		the name of the file to search in
	
	DEFAULT/K	if no version will found this is the default
			string for SetComment

	SHORT/S		only the version number will displayed/written
			(will not work with some strings e.g.
			"type1.library".. -> "1." / "ppm2aga 1.6a" -> "2")
	
	FORCE/S		overwrite exist filenotes
	
	APPEND/S	the version will appended on exist filenote
	
	PREPEND/S	the version will inserted in front of exist filenote
	
	CONVERTDATE/S	try to convert the datestamp in the version string
			(e.g. (01.12.95) -> (01.Dec.95) )
	
	QUIET/S		make no output except error messages
	
	NOCOMM/S	set not the filenote
	
    only one of FORCE,APPEND,PREPEND can specified at the same time

  - My personal use in DOpus :
	C:DoVer {f} DEFAULT --- FORCE CONVERTDATE QUIET

	
Bugs
  - version strings larger than 255 chars will cut for display
    the string for filenote will cut to 79 chars
