   If you use the configure;make build facilty you can create version, build   
   numbering within and just change the vars in configure.in before running the   
   build script.   
      
   AS for the info in a program is this for pickup during running or at the build   
   stage. If the later that is simple enough even if you issue a export   
   version-var before running in a script.   
      
   If the former you will need to check the fpc docs to see if there is a    
   function   
   for it or write your own or again use an exported vars for your program to   
   pick up.   
      
   I do use the developed program version for displays and the printed reports    
   but   
   the make script does make use of the compiler version sometimes but not often   
   as I am more concerned with the platform.
