- Short: V2.9b AmigaDos Version replacement. (bugfix)
- Author: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Håkan Parting)
- Uploader: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Håkan 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.2.9 (13.12.97) PUBLIC UPDATE
- -------------------------------
- BUGFIX: Original version does only show the filename and versionnumber
- by default. VersionWB does so too now to, when the output is redirected,
- to keep compatible with scripts which is using the output from Version.
- If the output is not redirected a requester will pop up ...
- Then there shouldn't be any problems with scripts. Because the output
- from C:version and VersionWB is the same.
- Bug reported by Manfred Alten. Thanks!
- NEW: Argument LIKECVER added. If specified, VersionWB will only output the
- filename and versionnumber in text-mode, just like C:version.
-
- Just to make things clear: ...
-
- If FULL is specified there will be a full text output with date and misc.
- If TEXT is specified there will be a full text output with fields like
- Version:, Date: and Misc:.
- If REQ is specified a requester will pop up with the version info.
- Default is REQ when started from CLI or WB.
- You may set your default for CLI-usage in the environmental variable
- VERSIONWB_PARAM
- e.g. SETENV VERSIONWB_PARAM "LIKECVER" , will make VersionWB behave like
- A-OS-Version. Then you must specify REQ for buttons in file managers.
- Don't forget to do a 'copy ENV:VERSIONWB_PARAM ENVARC:' to save the settings.
-
- BUGFIX: If you have cybergraphics.library VersionWB could ask for ENV:
- when the Amiga was booting up. This apply if you have replaced C:version
- with VersionWB.
- BUGFIX: Enforcer-hit. Hm. Did a 'used a C-string("") instead of a E-string('')'
- mistake.
- Bug reported by Johan Eriksson. Thanks!
- BUGFIX: Multiselection was broken.
- BUGFIX: Devices from filerequester did not work.
- NEW: If you submit an empty filerequester (empty file-field and empty dir-field)
- System info will show up.
- Suggested by Mario 'padrino' Cattaneo.
- BUGFIX: Fixed another Enforcer-hit introduced with version 2.8
- BUGFIX: Too much miscellaneous info could be showed. Mostly with text-files.
- Bug reported by Michael. Thanks!
- BUGFIX: Removed Enforcer hit which happen when one used NOMISC on a resident file.
-
- V.2.9a (20.12.97) PUBLIC UPDATE
- -------------------------------
- NEW: VersionWB REQ now shows system info in requester.
- NOTE to users of RTPatch or MCP-ReqtoolsASLPatch:
- You maybe have found out that you can't check the versionnumber of
- a device (DH0:) or check the system-info. With ASL-filerequester this is done
- by leaving the file-field blank and have the device-name typed in the
- dir-field. It's not possible to leave the file-field blank with Reqtools,
- It returns the same thing as the press on the cancel-button does.
- Hm. :-( Bug is reported to the authors so look out for a new version
- of MCP or RTPatch.
- Defiencies reported by Mario 'padrino' Cattaneo. Thanks!
-
- V.2.9b (21.12.97) PUBLIC UPDATE
