Follow-up:
I have checked and I do have a 'tver' resource. It is set to 1.1b. I
have checked the resource on the Palm and it shows 1.1b (312E316200).
I have also noticed something odd. The launcher shows v.1, no matter
what I put for the value of 'tver'. I must be somehow specifying this
wrong.
I am using PilotMag IDE. I specify the version number in a setup field.
It is getting into the 'tver' resource as I have specified it. Is there
some special way of showing it. I have tried 1.1b, 11b, v.1.1.b, about
every combination that I can think of and it always comes out as v.1
in POSE and the Launcher. So, I'm pretty sure it is not a POSE problem.
It must be that I am not specifying the version number correctly or my
app must be required to used 'tver' in some way.
Anyone know why the launcher and POSE does not show the version number
correctly, even though there is a 'tver' resource of 1.1b?
Thanks
