"Version$" with full information like "LBB vX.XX"
« Thread started on: Oct 5th, 2013, 4:24pm » |

Hello,
Would it be possible to make the reserved word Version$ indicate not only "4.04 (LBB)" but something like "4.04 (LBB 2.10)"?

I can, but the problem is that I could easily forget to update it, and then the contents of Version$ would be out-of-step with the true version!
It's a good idea though, so I will give some thought to whether it would be possible to automate it, so I don't have to remember to edit it manually.
Richard.

Right, the next release of LBB will set Version$ as requested: "4.04 (LBB 2.20)".
However there is a minor caveat: it's the version number of the compiler rather than the version number of the run-time engine. Normally these will be the same (and they must be when you run a program in the IDE or compile it to an EXE). But if you compile your program to a tokenised (.LBB) file and run it using LBBRUN.exe they are not guaranteed to be the same - although if they're not the program may well not run.
Richard.
