Version-Info is a utility to compare the version information of files that
contain a Windows version resource. If a file contains no version resource,
then Version-Info will report that as well.

A Windows version resource includes the language, code page, version number,
and so on for a file. The functions in VER.DLL are commonly used by install
programs to retrieve information from a file's version resource and install
files based on this information. For example, if a file being installed
already exists, the functions in VER.DLL determine if the file being
installed is newer or older (and of the same type) than the existing file.
Comparing the version information this way is more reliable than, for
example, comparing the dates of the two files. Install programs that use
VER.DLL include Visual Basic's Setup Wizard and companion setup program. 

Files that can contain version resources include EXE, DLL, VBX, OCX, DRV,
and font files. Applications created with Visual Basic version 3.0 and
before do not contain version resources; however, most VBXs do. Version-Info
is useful for comparing two or more VBX or DLL files to determine if they
are of the same type and which is the newer version. Version-Info uses an
multiple document interface to let you easily compare several files at once.
A print feature is also included to allow you to print the version
information of any file.

This program may be used and distributed freely on the condition that it is
distributed in full an unchanged, and that no fee is charged for such use
and distribution with the exception of reasonable shipping and/or media
charges.
