- For libraries, it seems that the Version command always reports the
- version number for the library that is currently loaded into memory.
- Thus, when you asked for 'version powerpacker.library', the system
- discovered that there is a powerpacker.library in memory, version
- 35.254, and it reported that, ignoring whatever was on disk. This
- check for libraries is case-sensitive, so when you asked about
- PowerPacker.library, it gave you information about the one on disk.
