- Speaking of version....
-
- Has anyone but me had miserable luck with the version command? It seems to me
- that it only works the FIRST time you check the version of something, and then
- repeats the old version for ANY path you give it. I guess it stores the versions
- in some sort of memory cache or something. All I know is, if I do a
-
- version libs:reqtools.library
-
- and the program reports version 37.5, then if I call
-
- version DH0:telecomm/VirusZ/libs/reqtools.library
-
- it will STILL give me version 37.5, even if the library file in the second
- path is newer or older. I've verified this several times by actually loading
- the library into TurboText and reading the version string "by hand".
-
- (The reason I'm mentioning this, Scot, is because version may be LYING to you
- when it says that the included version of reqtools.library is 37.x. It may be
- telling you the version of your INSTALLED lib, which is definitely 37.x. Try
- copying in the new file anyway, or check the version with a (good) text editor
- to see what it REALLY is. It just may be version 38.)
