Short: V2.16 AmigaDos Version replacement. Author: hakan@parting.nu (Håkan Parting) Uploader: hakan parting nu (Håkan Parting) Type: util/sys Architecture: m68k-amigaos VersionWB is a replacement for the usual AmigaDos Version command, which also may check the version of packed files by utilizing the 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-), except for the bugs :) * 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 files in your shell-path Recent changes: V.2.16 (17.03.2001) PUBLIC UPDATE ------------------------------- NEW: If character with ascii code 1 to 9 is found within a found $VER: string then the string is not concidered valid, because there's a risk that it's just garbage in a crunched file. The Cookie_Killer's files for AWeb have a ascii code 1 just after the $VER: for some obscure reason. The original c:version doesn't care about this character. So if you had replaced the c:version with VersionWB 2.13+ your Cookie-files were destroyed by Cookie_Killer. Now one such character is allowed, to make it compatible with Cookie Killer. Gregg Sawyer told me about the problem. NEW: Added argument NONEW. Use it with Dopus or another file handler where the New- button has no use. Suggested by Efim Shuvikov. NEW: The New-button is now positioned between the "Ok" and "Cancel"-buttons with multi selection. BUGFIX: Text after a newline character was parsed as misc-info. @author information from a guide should not be added to the misc-section if LIKECVER is used, because the original c:version doesn't. BUGFIX: Increased the stack size to 8000. V.2.15 (30.04.2000) PUBLIC UPDATE ------------------------------- BUGFIX: Referenced illegal memory location on some system configurations every time VersionWB was run since v.2.13, causing crashes on these machines. This probably only happen if many romtag modules were installed. Thanks to Jens Langner for the report! This program is Gift-Ware. Version 2.15 (30.04.2000) Copyright 1994-2000 Håkan Parting
