I'm not sure I understand. Hard-code the revision in a const char instead of directly in a printf? Is that just so it's near the top of the file and easier to get to? Or is there a way to automate (without a bunch of sed mess in the Makefile) version numbers? It looks like the mingw headers have a lines like "* $Revision: 1.2 $ " in the comments, but I assume that's for a script of some sort to use. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
