Sorry, I should have been more clear. I did actually get the version info
stuff working eventually (with egcs 1.1.2) once your message told me what
to look for, after hacking around a bit and doing by example. Tacked onto
the end of this is the .rc file I currently have. I don't know exactly
what fields are required or what some of the more obscure variables mean;
I just know that it works as-is, and doesn't if I remove some of the
obscure stuff. (The joys of programming by example w/o any sort of
documentation... :) )
