Short: V2.9c 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
-------------------------------
BUGFIX: The file-requester was not working. :-(
Removed a line to much in source ...
V.2.9c (31.12.97) PUBLIC UPDATE
-------------------------------
BUGFIX: The output changed when it was redirected or when LIKECVER was specified.
Wrong revision number showed up and misc-info was missing.
BUGFIX: The revisionnumber was parsed wrongly, so if the REVISION argument
was used the result would be wrong.
Bugs reported by Andrija Antonijevic. Thanks!
BUGFIX: VersionWB REQ QUIET should not open an requester.
This program is Gift-Ware.
