- Short: v2.8 AmigaDos Version replacement.
- Uploader: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Hσkan Parting)
- Author: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Hσkan 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

-
- V.2.8 (23.11.97) PUBLIC UPDATE
- ------------------------------
- NEW: 'VersionWB version 37' shall set the return value. With AmigaDos version
- it checks the version of Workbench and then returns the right value. (WARN or 0).
- I did not know about this so it wasn't implemented into VersionWB. This led
- to problems with some scripts which check that you are using the right Workbench,
- when you have renamed versionwb to version.
- (The script could tell you that you doesn't have WB 2.04+, while you sure have it.)
- NEW: VersionWB >ram:outputfile will now not open a requester. It outputs as text,
- compatible to AmigaDos version. VersionWB was incompatible to some scripts which
- captured the output.
- BUGFIX: Sometimes there was a space before the file-comment set by VersionWB.
- Reported by Michael Taylor. Thanks!
- NEW: Now VersionWB tries all the shell-paths if it can't find the file in the current directory.
- e.g 'VersionWB multiview' should work.
- NEW: New command line argument SETDATE. It sets the file's date to the one found in version info.
- Suggested by Simon Gilligan.
- NEW: New command line argument NOMISC. If set, VersionWB does not show the miscellaneous info.
- NEW: New command line argument COMMENT. Short for COMFILE+COMDROPNAME+COMERASE+NOMISC, i.e. comments
- the file with the version number & date.
- NEW: Now most dates is converted to the format set in Locale-prefs.
- BUGFIX: The environmental variables were not read if ENV: wasn't an Device
- (it is with HappyENV).
-
- This program is Gift-Ware.
