- I trust you are refering to the $VER in the Lib->Id_String.
- If so then I've found that this is, in many cases different
- from the value in the Revision field of the Lib Struct. In many
- cases I have found no Id_String at all and had to rely on
- the Revision field. (no revision field in resident struct so
- LoadSeg() wont give it to me) .
- I've also found that many programmers will have the
- Id_String/$VER: indicate the version/revision of the
- program that uses the library and not the Ver/Rev of the library
- itself so this can be misleading.
-
- If I've missed your point, please let me know.
- (Still looking for a stable Ver/Rev/Id_String)
