Hi, I have a query wrt 'file' command in unix. When I give the following command the following information is displayed. # file /usr/bin/ABSgtar /usr/bin/ABSgtar: COFF format alpha dynamically linked, demand paged executable or object module not stripped - Version 3.13-12. My question is what is this version number ? I am sure this is not the version of the file in SCCS/RCS. Thanks and Regards, V.Sreenivasa Prasad.
