Retreiving "file version" information

[Guest]

HI all,

Does anyone know a command line way of retreiving the file version
information that is available within windows by looking at the properties of
a file and choosing the "version" tab?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ellis

FILEINFO.EXE 2.2 - Windows File Info - by Clay Ruth 04/12/1996 - 01/28/1999

FILEINFO filespec [/s]

Searches for standard Windows file information (StringFileInfo) and reports
the file name, date and time stamp, and size, followed by either a summary
of the found information or a statement that no other info is available.
Switch /s enables subdirectory searching.

Returns errorlevel 0 if info found, 1 if info not found, 2 if error.
When wildcards are used, highest level for the file group is returned.
