- About versionResources
- ----------------------
- Written July 23, 1997 by Eric Gundrum <eric@macgroup.com>.
-
- versionResources is a package of utilites to make version numbers and other
- identifying information easier to add to your products. No longer do you have
- to figure out how to calculate a valid version string. These files do it for
- you. All you have to do to add your information is change a few strings in some
- header files.
-
- This version of the package contains these files:
-
- version.r -- Rez templates for needed resources.
- versionProductInfo.h -- Information you supply about your product.
- versionVendorInfo.h -- Information you supply about your company.
-
- The files document themselves.
-
- This version information is based on the format defined in version 1.1 of
- Teknosys's VersionEdit. VersionEdit, included on Apple Developer CDs, provides
- a graphical interface to edit the information supplied by this package.
-
- Unfortunately VersionEdit has not been updated for quite awhile; it does not
- contain a field for Web URLs. I decided to place mine in the AppleLink address
- field. AppleLink is finally dead, after all.
-
- I have also added a string the Finder will display if it cannot find an
- application that will open the document file. This is handy to tell the user
- what to do with non-applications and non-doument files.
-
- A handy extension to this package would be to supply C++ classes to read
- these resources; maybe for the next version. It might also be nice if CodeWarrior
- contained a built-in way to increment build numbers for each compile.
- (VersionEdit does this whenever a file is dropped on it.) Adding auto-increments
- to CodeWarrior will take some research.
