Short: v2.1 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.
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 Imploded files.
* All other features of AmigaDos Version, as far as I know 8-).
Changes from version 2.00:
V.2.00 (19.10.96)
-----------------
VersionWB has been pushed up to 2.00, because it now may totally replace
AmigaDOS Version :-)
BUGFIX: Enforcer-hits, when file not found. Reported by Lars Hecking, Ireland.
BUGFIX: Enforcer-hits, when no version string was found in imploded files.
(When expload haven't been executed).
BUGFIX: Enforcer-hits, illegal memory pointer.
NEW: VersionWB now can tell version of discs: (e.g. DH0:, DH1:, DF0:).
NEW: Date is now converted to the local standard.
NEW: One may omit LIBS: or DEVS: when one want to know the version for
a library or a device. (e.g. VersionWB asl.library)
NEW: Date is showed in system information, just like AmigaDos Version does
when FULL is set.
NEW: A new command line argument: RES. It indicates that you want the resident version
of the file. FILE, not the resident version, is default, in difference to AmigaDos version.
NEW: A new command line argument: VERSION num. Checks if the version number is greater than num.
NEW: A new command line argument: REVISION num. Checks if the revision number is greater than num.
NEW: Cancel-button is not showed in the last selection (Multiselection).
NEW: Because of compatibility reasons with AmigaDos Version you have to enter the MU
argument if you enter more than one file. If not you will get a "Bad args!" message.
e.g. VersionWB MU asl.library commodities.library
For instance Version exec.library 39 , should not work right, if not MU was implemented.
name version
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!
This program is Gift-Ware.
