*                    VERSION UTILITY  V2.4-1  L I wrote the first VERSION in the spring of 1988.  Since then, two new LinkerK version have been released within VMS upgrades.  The new version of VERSION J will read all executables linked under those three versions of the Linker.  * This program does not need any extra files@ VERSION assumes that all images are located under the SYS$SYSTEMB directory.  If there are layered products in different areas, thenI specify the directory name they are located with or without the extention 9 (the default is exe).  You can see help for more details.     J **************************************************************************   Modifications:   1.  Restructuring of code   6 2.  (new) Module for extracting the image information.  / 3.  (new) Module for handling error conditions.   , 4.  (mod) Help file revised for new version.  ; 5.  (fix) Output of information with the /OUTPUT qualifier.   < 6.  (new) Search method for extracting versions from images.2     Should support older and third party software.  @ 7.  (mod) Search method to include new linker format of VMS 5.5.    J **************************************************************************  G When using the utility you may notice that the version may be different I than say V4.7 and may instead return X-1.  That is because the image file I for that particular product may not have the version, however, there does D not seem to be any other place where the version numbers are stored.  H If you have onsite utilities that you wish to add the version number to,I link the program with the /OPTIONS quailfier and have a file with the OPT 3 extention (look at version's files for the format).    To compile and link VERSION:         $ FORTRAN VERSION        $ LINK VERSION /OPTIONS        $   I *************************************************************************   
 Implementing:   = 1.  Modify .CLD file to point to appropriate image directory.   C 2.  Add command to CLI tables or SET COMMAND VERSION should be done      at command line.    3.  Add .HLP file to HELP files.  I *************************************************************************   & For comments, suggestions or problems:                     Jonathan C.
