IMPORT STUFF
REST OF CODE
This format is still readable and distinct, but by putting the
information into attributes,
they are accessible in an interpreter,
Neat I hadn't thought of that.
The other thing thats often useful is to use your version control tool
to insert
the keystrings for you. They virtually all have similar features for
auto-insertting
the version number, filename, update comments and dates.
For example in SCCS ( I know, but I had the docs handy! :-):
%M% = Module name
%R% - Release Number
%L% - Level number
%E% - Date newest delta was created
etc etc.
I don't use SVN but I'm sure it will have similar capabilities.
Just some thoughts,
