- Short: v1.26 replaces c:version. New features.
- Uploader: m-25588@mailbox.swipnet.se (Stefan Smietanowski)
- Author: Håkan Parting
- Type: util/sys
-
- VersionWB is a replacement for the usual c:version command.
-
- 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 have an optional text output.

- Changes from version 1.24:
-
- V.1.24 (27.05.96)
- -----------------
- NEW: Multi-file-template. Multi-select-file requester.
- Thanks, Allan Odgaard, Denmark, who suggested this.
- Optional text output. Resident libraries and devices
- can now be loaded. Internal commands do work too, but
- other resident commands do not work yet. :-(
- Thanks Fredrik Elmqvist, Sweden, who told me that resident
- files did not work with VersionWB, and suggested that text
- output should be implemented.
-
- V.1.25 (04.06.96)
- -----------------
- NEW: Asynchronous loading is now implemented. The result
- is faster loading under certain conditions.
- Thanks Allan Odgaard, who suggested that I would use
- that loading method, and told me a bit about it.
- NEW: Now the filename is showed, when the file was not found.
- NEW: Cancel button, if one want to cancel a multiselection.
- Thanks Georges Goncalves, France, who suggested this.
- BUGFIX: I forgot to clear a variable when multi selection
- was implemented. $VER: could be in the name field.
- The cause is the now very complex search routine.
- I will try to make a better one in the future.
- BUGFIX: $VER:s width no version number information
- was not found, now they will, e.g. LIBS:XFD/FIRE.
- One could wonder why just give information
- about the file in the $VER:, and no version number.
- Thanks Stefan Smietanowski, who reported this bug.
-
- V.1.26 (30.06.96)
- -----------------
- NEW: Changed the search routine to a faster and smarter one.
- $VER and Library pointers in the first search. Then pre-two-letter
- and $VER-search in the second search.
- With pre-two-letter search a message "Smart version string search used!"
- is showed in the requester. This search can pick something wrong,
- but usually does not. (This was previously used every time, on files
- that did not contain any $VER:, e.g. libraries, devices and doshandlers)
- The version string in some WB1.3 libraries and devices cannot be find
- in any other way. As far as I know :-? If you know how to do it, feel free
- to tell me! I know that it is possible to open the library (OpenLibrary())
- or device (OpenDevice()) and than pick the IDString, like c:version in
- Workbench 1.3 did, but that is not a solution I like.
- NEW: Some use ascii-code 160 for space instead of 32, these will now
- be converted.
- BUGFIX: Text output even though no version string could be found.
- NEW: FULL and FILE KEYWORDS inserted in template for compatibility
- with c:version. With FULL you get an text output in one (or two)
- lines and no fields (FILE:, NAME: or DATE:). FILE has no function.
- BUGFIX: $DATE and $COPYRIGHT could be showed in the requester.
- NEW: All memory resident files should work now. (commands that you have made
- resident by "resident c:copy pure add".)
- NEW: MUI version and CyperGfx version added to system info.
- BUGFIX: Some author/miscellaneous texts were not showed, because they were
- too long, limit changed to 150.
-
- This program is Postcard-Ware.
- If you use it don't forget to send me a postcard of your town.
