- Short: v2.7 AmigaDos Version replacement.
- Uploader: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Håkan Parting)
- Author: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Håkan Parting)
- Type: util/sys
-
- VersionWB is a replacement for the usual AmigaDos Version command,
- which now uses 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.
-
- Changes from version 2.6:
-
- V.2.6 (28.04.97) PUBLIC UPDATE
- ------------------------------
- NEW: New command line argument NOXFD. This prevents xfd.library to be opened.
- NEW: ToolTypes supported for MAX,PUBSCREEN,NOXFD,FILE and RES.
- (BUGFIX): A routine which tries to prevent '$VER:'+rubbish to be showed.
- Thanks to Sebastian Ohme, Germany, for suggestions and bug report.
-
- V.2.7 (02.07.97) PUBLIC UPDATE
- ------------------------------
- BUGFIX: The '$VER: Version 1.0' in some libraries, e.g. medplayer.library, was
- showed if the library was resident in memory. The library is now opened
- again from LIBS: or DEVS:, and then the version number and revision is showed,
- NOT the text Version 1.0 ...
- Bug reported by Johan Eriksson, Sweden.
- BUGFIX: All error messages is now printed to the console if the TEXT argument
- is given.
- NEW: You can have default parameters which is added to the command line when
- you run versionwb from CLI. These are set with SetEnv VersionWB_Param "<parameters>".
- e.g.
- Setenv VersionWB_Param "TEXT FULL". This will set VersionWB to output to console
- if started from CLI.
- Feature suggested by Aaron Digulla.
- NEW: Command line parameter REQ added to make it possible to force VersionWB to
- show the version info in a requester, even though the default line is "TEXT FULL".
- This must be used with file managers, e.g. DOpus, if it starts VersionWB in
- AmigaDOS mode. THIS HAVE TO BE USED ONLY if you have set a default command line
- parameter list, with Setenv VersionWB_Param "<parameters>" or equivalent.
- BUGFIX: Forgot to check for a return value of NULL from a LoadSeg(),
- causing the program to hang when there were an error with LoadSeg(), e.g.
- the file was corrupted.
- Bug reported by Elias Papanikolaou and Andrija Antonijevic.
- NEW: Now it's possible to do "VersionWB anylib.library libs:" and then get
- the version info of the anylib.library file in the current directory and
- later the version info of the LIBS:anylib.library file. Whatever device or
- assign can be used instead of libs:.
- Suggested by Nikola Smolenski.
-
- This program is Gift-Ware.
