(That would be a risky thing to do since it could very easily get out of sync with the actual executables). If the wine is installed under rpm then I would say that using rpm -q is the best way to get the version. (I have known of one occasion in the past on which it was more correct than the wine --version answer). Using rpm will give much more accurate information including whose build of wine it is as well as the version. Otherwise, as Mark said, use wine --version. I am really not knowledgeable about java but I would have thought that if you are able to access the local filesystem to read a file then you should be able to execute a command in the local system and read its output. > > </P> > <br><br> > <A target="_blank" > HREF="http://clients.rediff.com/signature/track_sig.asp";><IMG > SRC="http://ads.rediff.com/RealMedia/ads/adstream_nx.cgi/www.rediffmail.com >/inbox.htm@Bottom" BORDER=0 VSPACE=0 HSPACE=0></a> -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
