OK, I can do taht (I already started).  BTW, did you notice that John
Polstra committed a change to the runtime loader, that lets it, in a
pretty simple program, report it's version number?  That's not too bad a
signpost, of the installed software level on a particular user's
machine.  I know that's been on your mind lately.  I'll be working up a
real short test prog to report that.  It's no good on any machine but
current, but it's the right direction, isn't it?
