- Short: V1.28 replaces c:version. New features.
- Author: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Håkan Parting)
- Uploader: hparting@hem.passagen.se (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 has an optional text output.
-
- * It recognizes Imploded files.

- Changes from version 1.26:
-
- V.1.26 (03.07.96) PUBLIC RELEASE
- --------------------------------
- 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.
-
- V.1.27 (07.09.96)
- -----------------
- BUGFIX: $VER:-string with no version number is now showed.
- Bug reported by Stefan "Blast" Smietanowski.
- BUGFIX: Forgot to clear the memory buffer after multiselection.
- BUGFIX: Oops! Multiselection with the file requester did not
- work after the Cancel-button implementation (1.25).
- NEW: The Cancel-button now only appear under multiselection.
- NEW: Some libraries have 'Version 1.0' as ID-String. It seems like
- this version number is not right. C:version tells you another for
- instance. From this version of VersionWB I decided to make
- a routine which notify when the version string is 'Version 1.0',
- and then tries to find another, or uses the version and revision in
- the library structure.
- BUGFIX: The Cancel-button do only appear under multiselection (with filerequester
- too now).
- NEW: A DOPUS-ARexx-script follows this archive, which implements a new
- copy feature to DirectoryOpus. Se VersionCopy.DOpus for more information.
- This script is not made by me, it was Allan Odgaard who kindly
- submitted it to me. Thanks!
-
- V.1.28 (26.09.96)
- -----------------
- NEW: Now it recognizes files which is packed with Imploder, and tells you when
- one is found. Of course VersionWB has to use more memory with imploded files than
- it usually does. It is also a bit slower, because the entire file most be loaded
- to memory before search. But this do not affect any other file.
- Thanks Grzegorz Calkowski, Poland.
- BUGFIX: The search routine for libraries and devices does now handle the loaded data
- right. You could get really strange information before.
-
- This program is Gift-Ware.
