- Short: V2.9d AmigaDos Version replacement.
- 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
