Well, you probably should pick up one of the books that describe the AmigaDOS commands more fully, such as the Bantam AmigaDOS manual. Basically, the FILE option is a switch keyword that tells the version command to inspect the binary itself, rather than attempting to find out the version number by opening the library. So to find out the version of an amigaguide.library on a particular drive, you might say: version df2:libs/amigaguide.library file Version will scan the file, and report any embedded version number it may contain (assuming it contains a version number according to the rules given in the Style Guide) andy
