revappversion()

When did it change, that is the question!
This has been working fine until at least engine 2.9!

But revappversion() is still working in Rev.
Maybe they mapped this function to "the version"?

> Hence the 0 in the MC function.

But it does NOT return 0 in MetaCard, so where the heck is "2.5.1"  
coming from?

We added "revappversion()" to MC some time in the past to be  
compatible with Rev
and to distinguish between the two IDEs.

Any opinions/insights, fellow MetaCarders?


Best

Klaus
