[comp.mail.elm] easy version determination from source?

david@wubios.wustl.edu (David J. Camp) (10/21/89)

This is a strange problem that you may be able to help me with.  I had
some elm sources on my disk (shar files) that I wanted to clean up.  I
had to determine what version of elm they were for before I could
dispose of them.  Alas, my simple-minded solution was to compile the
source and look at the meanu title when it ran.  Certainly there must be
an easier way.  What file is ther version number stored in?  Any help
will be appreciated.  Thank you,  -David-

You're going to kick your self, its in the README file at the top,
and the 'patchlevel' is in the file hdrs/patchlevel.h.  Looking
only in the header files, the version is also in hdrs/defs.h in
the string VERSION.
