filever.exe sub?

Hi All, Windows provides a utility called filever.exe which will tell you the revision of and exe file. (You can also see this through the gui with properties). Currently I run filever.exe through Wine. It is cumbersome, especially since Wine floods STDERR. I work around it. Do we have a mod

Re: Roles are fundamentally broken?

The role must not be a class – that's true. Yet, have a look at my example with private methods. If accidentally two roles declare same private method – I either must reject using one of them or resolve the conflict manually... oh, wait, I have no idea of what is that private method is all abo
