An enhanced ver command
<p>Apologies to AdrinS. The switches listed above are not available with the ver command in any version of Windows. Instead they are part of my wish list for the ver command.<br /></p> <p> <mtps:InstrumentedLink NavigateUrl="http://forum.sysinternals.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23137&amp;title=extended-ver-command" runat="server" xmlns:mtps="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/mtps">http://forum.sysinternals.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23137&amp;title=extended-ver-command</mtps:InstrumentedLink> <br /> </p> <p> </p>
