>> About
-----------------------

This script can be added to DirectoryOpus 4 either as a button
or a hotkey and allows you to retrieve a file version
(internally, by using the stock C:Version command) and to
display the version in a convenient pop-up window.

The script is designed to not use any external tools and has no
other requirements than a stock installation of DirectoryOpus 4
and the Workbench stock version of C:Version. The ARexx script
works under the assumption that version strings must contain at
least a number. This means that if some developer just supplied
letters as the version string then this script will fail.

However, the script is excessively documented and is easy to
adapt to use a more comprehensive tool that is able to extract
an unconventional version string.

-----------------------
>> How to install?
-----------------------

  1.) Extract the archive
  2.) Place DOpus4-Version.rexx wherever you see fit.
      (It is tidy, for example, to create an ARexx directory
       in DOPUS4: and then place your scripts there.)
  3.) Open DirectoryOpus4 and right-click and go to
      Project->Configure
  4.) On the screen that pops-up, go to Buttons and create a new
      button somewhere where you see fit.
      4a.) Give the button a name ("Version", for example) and
           create a new entry.
      4b.) Set the cycler to ARexx and click the magnifying glass
           to enter the path to the DOpus4-Version.rexx script.
  5.) You do not need to set any flags.
  6.) Save and exit and you are done.

-----------------------
>> How to use?
-----------------------

In DirectoryOpus 4, select any file that is bound to have a
version string and click the button you created.

You can also select multiple files and the script will process
them all one after the other while skipping files that do not
have a version string.

FindVersion  at  http://aminet.net/package/util/dopus/FindVersion1_0
  Unfortunately, it requires the shareware GetVer400 package
  which is shareware and must be registered.
