I contributed a utility subroutine at San Diego'98 which will
return to the calling program version string information for
a specified program.  This is based upon using the $VERSION
compiler option and not searching for a fixed string value in the
initial DB area of an object to locate a value.

The routine is called VerInfo().  The information is located by
finding the appropriate structure in the SOM file.  It has to be
called recursively to obtain them all, as it only returns 1 version
string per call and uses that same value passed back to the routine
to locate/return the next version string in the SOM file.

Given that it works by locating the structures in the SOM file, this
will work with both NM program object files as well as libraries.
