Thanks for the response, Henry!

Looks like this might finally be the thing that pushes me over the edge in favor of using rake to build my app. Every time I release a new version, I release it in a few different flavors, each with slight modifications. Using rake and the OpenLaszlo gem, I should be able to write the build time to an XML file that is included in the build, correct?

The actual call to get the info as a string is

LzCanvas.versionInfoString()

Hmm, that's a good idea, I don't think the compiler bakes the date that the app was compiled into the app anyplace. It does bake
    in the information on the version of LPS that is running though:

    Debug.versionInfo ()

    will return a string like this
    Debug.versionInfo

    lzx> Debug.versionInfo

        I'm currently dealing with the unpleasant headache of tracking
        various
        installations of different versions of my SOLO app.  I've added
        functionality to display the version number of the app, but
        I'd also
        like to include a build number.  In fact, I'd prefer to just
        use the
        time at which the app was built if that's possible.

        How could I go about doing this?  Some sort of preprocessing
        directive?

        Thanks in advance! :)
