- Short: Bugfixed c:version command
- Uploader: fsteinfe@iiic.ethz.ch (Frederic Steinfels)

- Type: util/shell
- Version: 40.1

- DESCRIPTION
-
- This is a patch/replacement for the original c:version command.
- It had a nasty bug: If the last four bytes of a file contained
- a $ sign, the version command went into an endless loop.
- The new version command contains a work aournd for this
- problem: It internally reduces the file size by four bytes.
- This is save as the last four bytes can't contain a complete
- version string.
- The workaround code requires 14 bytes. They were gained by
- shortening the text:
- "This disk requires Kickstart version 2.04 or greater"
- to
- "Kickstart 2.04 or greater required"
- This was much easier than increasing the file size.
