Short:    v2.00 AmigaDos Version replacement.
Uploader: hparting@hem.passagen.se (Håkan Parting)

Type:     util/sys

VersionWB is a replacement for the usual AmigaDos 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.

* All other features of AmigaDos Version, as far as I know 8-).

Changes from version 1.27:

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.

V.2.00 (19.10.96)
-----------------
VersionWB has been pushed up to 2.00, because it now may totally replace
AmigaDOS Version :-)
BUGFIX: Enforcer-hits, when file not found. Reported by Lars Hecking, Ireland. 
BUGFIX: Enforcer-hits, when no version string was found in imploded files.
(When expload haven't been executed).
BUGFIX: Enforcer-hits, illegal memory pointer.
NEW: VersionWB now can tell version of discs: (e.g. DH0:, DH1:, DF0:).
NEW: Date is now converted to the local standard.
NEW: One may omit LIBS: or DEVS: when one want to know the version for
a library or a device. (e.g. VersionWB asl.library)
NEW: Date is showed in system information, just like AmigaDos Version does
when FULL is set.
NEW: A new command line argument: RES. It indicates that you want the resident version
of the file. FILE, not the resident version, is default, in difference to AmigaDos version.
NEW: A new command line argument: VERSION num. Checks if the version number is greater than num.
NEW: A new command line argument: REVISION num. Checks if the revision number is greater than num.
NEW: Cancel-button is not showed in the last selection (Multiselection).
NEW: Because of compatibility reasons with AmigaDos Version you have to enter the MU
     argument if you enter more than one file. If not you will get a "Bad args!" message. 
     e.g. VersionWB MU asl.library commodities.library

This program is Gift-Ware.
