-
-
- NAME
- Version - Report version numbers of current system software.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- 1.3:
- Version [libraryname or devicename] [versionnum] [revisionnum]
- [unitnum]
-
- 2.x/3.x:
- Version [libraryname or devicename or filename] [version_num]
- [revision_num] [unit_num] [FILE] [INTERNAL] [RES]
- [FULL]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- By default, Version reports the current versions of
- Kickstart, Workbench and arp.library in use on your
- Amiga. This is the same as using the Workbench menu
- selection "About...". If you specify a name (which may
- be a library or a device), Version attempts to find out
- which version the system will use when accessed.
-
-
- OPTIONS
- libraryname or devicename or filename
- The complete path and name of the library, device, or
- file whose version you want to check. You can only check
- file version numbers under 2.x/3.x. If you don't specify
- this keyword, the Version number of the kickstart and
- Workbench will show up.
-
- Version_Num
- Accepts a numeric argument. If the version of the
- library or device in question is not the same as this
- argument, the return code will be set to WARN.
-
- Revision_Num
- Like VERSION, but checks the revision number of the
- specified library or device.
-
- Unit_num
- Useful only with some devices, to access a unit other
- than zero.
-
- RES
- This lets you find the version number of a resident
- command.
-
- Full
- Allows version to print out the entire versin string,
- including the date.
-
- EXAMPLE
-
- 1. To get the complete version of the Kickstart and
- Workbench disks used:
-
- Version
- (This is what it will return:)
- Kickstart version 33.180. Workbench version 33.44. ARP
- version 39.1
-
- Note that the above values may be different depending on
- what versions of each software you are running.
-
- 2. To check to see if the version of ReqTools is greater
- than 37. Print a warning if it isn't:
-
- Version >Nil: ReqTools.library Version=37 Revision=35
- IF Warn
- ECHO "ReqTools library version below 37."
- ENDIF
-
- 1.3 CAUTION!!!
- You should not run VERSION indiscriminately on files
- which are not in the libs: or devs: directories, or your
- system may GURU.
