Hi,
is there an option for Hugs to just show a version string and quit immediately? (Could not find anything like that in the manual, and some plausible candidates I tried had not the desired effect.)
Have you tried something like this (quick and dirty; some more sofisticated Perl solution might be suggested but I am not a Perl expert): echo :Q|hugs|grep Version|tr -d "|_" Release will print (e. g.): Version: November 2002 A CVS snapshot based executable will print (e. g.): Version: 20040720 To be more precise, some leading and trailing blanks may remain. But I'm sure you can figure it out how to remove them (and the word Version: as well if needed). -- Dmitry M. Golubovsky South Lyon, MI
