Does anybody know what libs/version.library and libs/info.library
are? I've looked for any reference to them in the 4 Addison-Wesley
manuals, in the Enhancer documentation, in the Lattice 3.10 C compiler
manual, and in the SYBEX Amiga Programmer's Handbook.
(Of course it's in there somewhere. I've probably just overlooked
it).
Thanks,
Bruce Karsh

What's the story, Commodore? version.library seems to be related to the version DOS command. What 'version' command, you say! Well, yes, it isn't in the DOS manuals. And it was there in v1.1, too. I just checked. Anyways, version seems to call version.library to get the version of the software that you're running on, rather than hard-coding it (not a bad idea, actually). info.library seems to be most of the support code for the INFO menu item on the workbench. This was deduced by looking at the strings in the library with TYPE x OPT H. Michael
