Short: v2.10b AmigaDos Version replacement.
Uploader: hakan@parting.nu (Håkan Parting)
Author: hakan@parting.nu (Håkan Parting)
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-).
* 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.2.10b (06.11.99) PUBLIC UPDATE
-------------------------------
BUGFIX: Recompiled VersionWB with an older version of the compiler. Some weird
crashes introduced with v.2.10. disappeared and the executable is now smaller in size.
V.2.10a (05.11.99) PUBLIC UPDATE
-------------------------------
BUGFIX: Removed Enforcer-hit on 040+ systems. Bug probably also caused trouble,
like freezing, on pre 040 systems.
V.2.10 (31.10.99) PUBLIC UPDATE
-------------------------------
NEW: Removes non-printables from the misc-field.
NEW: New-button added to the requester. Press it to do a new version search.
BUGFIX: It didn't recognized packed files that cannot be loaded with
LoadSeg(). Now it shall recognize all crunch algorithms that
xfdmaster.library can handle, including XPK.
BUGFIX: There was a space to much between the version number and the date.
BUGFIX: Only the name and the version number without any letters shall be printed
if LIKECVER is set. Should be compatible with standard C:version now.
BUGFIX: If FULL was set together with LIKECVER the output was not fully
compatible with original C:version.
BUGFIX: If LIKECVER was set in the VERSIONWB_PARAM but the argument TEXT
was given then only one line was printed.
This program is Gift-Ware.
