Hi Folks.
Currently I can extract any Windows program version as far as it has
been compilerd on a Win platform using either Delphi or Lazarus.
I can do the same on a Linux program on a Linux platform as fas as far
as the version has been embedde somewhere in the elf.
So fa, so good.
But do you now any method for a program running on a Linux platform to
extract the version of a Window compiled program ? And vice-versa ?
Al I know about this is that the version is embedded somwhere into a
resource into the executable
Is it right if I assume that executable program signatures are
Windows: first two bytes of the file are "MZ".
Linux: first 4 bytes of the file are $7F'ELF'

The unit versionresource is part of package fcl-res
Unit allow x-platform version resource extraction and parsing.
rsrc:=TVersionResource.Create;
Stream := TResourceStream.CreateFromID(hMod, 1, PChar(RT_VERSION));
rsrc.SetCustomRawDataStream(Stream);
with res do
case it of
vsFileVersion:
Result:=format('%d.%d.%d.%d',[FileVersion[0],FileVersion[1],FileVersion[2],FileVersion[3]]);
vsProductVersion:
Result:=format('%d.%d.%d.%d',[ProductVersion[0],ProductVersion[1],ProductVersion[2],ProductVersion[3]]);
end;
