I am not sure if anyone else out there does source code version control. We use
something called Software Management System (SMS) from Intesoft in UK. It did
not come with a "what" command like Unix SCCS (with which it is loosely
compatible) so I wrote it. If anyone wants it (other than to just see what it
does), respond and I'll upload it.
 If you just want to know what it does, here it is:
 You put a line in each source code file like this:
 static char *smsid = "$Header$";
 sms does substitution in $Header$ of a string identifying the source code
name, version, and date. "what" displays these strings in a binary (or .r, or
c for that matter) and you can see what versions of what files are linked into
your module. Now you know. If you have no source code control, it will be of
little use.
