[comp.os.vms] Clarification on reading version information from .EXE

Hm, seems I need to clarify my earlier request a bit:

I remember seeing, quite recently, a note with some code to allow a
program to read the version information from its own .EXE file directly
(i.e., ANALYZE/IMAGE is not used, this is done by the .EXE itself when
it is executing).  I don't remember where I saw this and am assuming it
was on Info-VAX and got "lost" when deleting a flurry of messages.

I thought this information was in a recent Pageswapper article, not
on info-vax.
