missing; only the manual pages and README files are here.

=============
GetVers v1.20
=============
Another quality Two Meg Software shell utility by Ian Schmidt.
Copyright (c) 1993 Two Meg Software.
All Rights Reserved.
Like most Two Meg shell utilities, this one's in 100% assembly for minimum size
and maximum speed.
GetVers is the companion for the 'SetVers' utility. Given a filename or
list of filenames, it prints out the version information for each one.
*New and Improved!*
GetVers 1.20 now uses System 6.0's VersionString call so it can correctly
report versions for all valid rVersion resources.
GetVers 1.20 also now includes a stack/DP segment of 384 bytes; quite a step
down from the default 4k.
GetVers v1.10 now can accept a list of filenames or pathnames to print version
information for. This means GNO and TMSH users can use the * and other regexp
operators to create version reports for a whole list of files (sorry, wildcards
the Orca way is too much of a pain in the butt :)
Usage
-----
getvers file1 [file2 file3...filen]
GetVers will print a usage message if called with no arguments. Otherwise it
processes all the arguments and generates a version printout for each one.
No flags are defined in GetVers 1.2.
Bugs
----
Console output under GNO 1.0 is screwed up. This is a GNO bug; GNO 1.1
solves this.
Big Thanks To
