     NAME
          Version - Report version numbers of current system software.

     SYNOPSIS
          1.3:
          Version [libraryname or devicename] [versionnum] [revisionnum]
                  [unitnum]

          2.x/3.x:
          Version [libraryname or devicename or filename] [version_num]
                  [revision_num] [unit_num] [FILE] [INTERNAL] [RES]
                  [FULL]

     DESCRIPTION
            By default, Version reports the current versions of 
        Kickstart, Workbench and arp.library in use on your 
        Amiga.  This is the same as using the Workbench menu 
        selection "About...".  If you specify a name (which may 
        be a library or a device), Version attempts to find out 
        which version the system will use when accessed.


     OPTIONS
          libraryname or devicename or filename
            The complete path and name of the library, device, or 
        file whose version you want to check. You can only check 
        file version numbers under 2.x/3.x. If you don't specify 
        this keyword, the Version number of the kickstart and 
        Workbench will show up.

          Version_Num
            Accepts a numeric argument.  If the version of the 
        library or device in question is not the same as this 
        argument, the return code will be set to WARN.

          Revision_Num
            Like VERSION, but checks the revision number of the 
        specified library or device.

          Unit_num
            Useful only with some devices, to access a unit other 
        than zero.

          RES
            This lets you find the version number of a resident 
        command.

          Full
            Allows version to print out the entire versin string, 
        including the date.
 
     EXAMPLE

        1. To get the complete version of the Kickstart and 
           Workbench disks used:

          Version
         (This is what it will return:)
          Kickstart version 33.180. Workbench version 33.44. ARP
          version 39.1

          Note that the above values may be different depending on
          what versions of each software you are running.

        2. To check to see if the version of ReqTools is greater
           than 37. Print a warning if it isn't:

         Version >Nil: ReqTools.library Version=37 Revision=35
         IF Warn
            ECHO "ReqTools library version below 37."
         ENDIF

     1.3 CAUTION!!!
	  You should not run VERSION indiscriminately on files
	  which are not in the libs: or devs: directories, or your
	  system may GURU.
