Strings ? I assume you mean Version ? The short answer is no. It generally works with modern libraries. Basically, a library can set up its own version number at time of first open programatically, or it can include a RomTag which contains a version number. For user convenience, most modern libraries _also_ contain an Amiga Style Guide version string, which can be read directly from the binary by the version command. However, this is not an absolute rule. (In addition, there's always the chance of programmer error…especially if they maintain their version numbers by hand rather than by an automated tool which creates a #define; in that case its possible for the library to contain mismatched version numbers) andy
