Don't use BUILD Some combination of VERSION VERSION SYSTEM VERSION BUILD VERSION BITS Should give you all the info you need. Experiment with them

In the compiler you can set your own build information for the EXE, which is very cool. However, I'd like to know the underlying build of R:Base that the compiled program uses. I need to do this to warn users that they may not have the latest version required to use recently added features in some forms. But when I check (CVAL('BUILD')) I get the information _I_ supplied to the compiler (that is, 0.0.0.0 if I didn't enter anything). Is there a way to get the actual R:Base engine version in use, or do I have to set the build information myself and map it to the underlying engine version? -- Larry
