Short: v2.9d 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.
* Can set the filedate to the one found in the version string
* Finds even files in your shell-path
Recent changes:
V.2.9c (31.12.97) PUBLIC UPDATE
-------------------------------
BUGFIX: The output changed when it was redirected or when LIKECVER was specified.
Wrong revision number showed up and misc-info was missing.
BUGFIX: The revisionnumber was parsed wrongly, so if the REVISION argument
was used the result would be wrong.
Bugs reported by Andrija Antonijevic. Thanks!
BUGFIX: VersionWB REQ QUIET should not open an requester.
V.2.9d (31.03.98) PUBLIC UPDATE
-------------------------------
BUGFIX: Fixed problem with truncated long date-strings.
Reported by Nuno Maltez. Thanks!
BUGFIX: The date should be in locale short format if LIKECVER is specified.
If not it is not compatible to AmigaDos Version.
BUGFIX: Could crash if one entered a non-existent filename in the file-
requester. It tried to search for it in the shell-path, which is
not possible under Workbench.
Bug reported by Thomas Steinbichler. Thanks!
NEW: Added arguments: SHORTDATE for short date strings, and DOSDATE for
autoconversion of the date to dos-format (31-Mar-98)
