Short: V2.3 A-Dos Version replacement (uses XFD).
Author: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Håkan Parting)
Uploader: 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 2.1:
V.2.1 (11.01.97)
-----------------
NEW: New parameter, PUBSCREEN screen. Where screen is the name of the public screen
you want VersionWB to open on.
(e.g. VersionWB MU asl.library commodities.library)
Suggested by JT Eliassen, Norway, and Pontus "Ein" Sjöström, Sweden.
NEW: New parameters: COMFILE, COMDROPNAME and COMERASE. COMFILE inserts the version
string into the filenote. See @{"Usage" link "Usage"}.
Suggested by JT Eliassen, Norway. Thanks!!
BUGFIX: Did not work if you have booted without startup-sequence :-( Strange
BUGFIX: It finally works with MC68000. Bug report by Stefan Mueller, Germany.
NEW: My bank account has changed. See Copyright/Giftware
NEW: MU argument dropped. Multiselection is supported.
'versionwb asl.library c:copy' does work now.
Still compatible with AmigaDos Version.
Works with WSHELL, without problems.
Thanks Frank Geider, France!
V.2.2 (18.01.97)
-----------------
BUGFIX: Enforcer-hit, with bad args and multi-file.
Bug reported by David Zaroski. Thanks!
NEW: QUIET argument. Do not show requester or text output.
Suggested by Frank Geider, France and JT Eliassen.
NEW: Checks if ENV: is available before reading environmental
variable versionwb_max.
Problem reported by William F Murray, USA and Dennis Jacobson.
BUGFIX: VersionWB with VersionWB_max in ENV: now works if you use VMM.
NEW: RES (resident file) is now default, just like ADOS Version.
e.g. VersionWB asl.library (gives the currently installed
asl.library, which is resident in memory ...)
e.g. VersionWB asl.library FILE (reads the file in the current directory.)
Incompatibility problem reported by David Zaroski.
BUGFIX: CR and LF at the end of the file note is now removed.
Bug reported by Frank Geider. Thanks!
V.2.3 (16.02.97) PUBLIC RELEASE
-------------------------------
NEW: optimization ... Uses D3-D7 insteed of USP.
NEW: Tells you if a file is resident in memory.
NEW: If a file is available in the current directory
and one for instance do a VersionWB asl.library,
one get the versioninfo of the file, and the resident
one some lines below.
BUGFIX: Imploded files were processed to many times.
Could be a long wait ...
Bug reported by Mario Cattaneo, Germany. Thanks!
NEW: Uses XfdMaster.library which means it can recognize
and decrunch almost any file.
Suggested by Allan Odgaard, Denmark and Grzegorz Calkowski, Poland.
NEW: It tells you which packer the file is packed with.
When the file is packed it have to be loaded entirely into
memory, in difference to normal files which is loaded in 10kB
or 16 kB blocks.
BUGFIX: Not all library-alike files was recognized as such,
and the version info could only be found with 'smart version
string search'.
BUGFIX: Version of devices did not work since v. 2.2.
This program is Gift-Ware.
