Guys,

I promise not to ask 27 silly questions a day, but there's one silly
question I have to ask for today...

I have inherited a large Delphi project which I now have to maintain.

When you run the Tool-name.exe file the tool GUI opens, and the Help ->
About window opens immediately for a few seconds, displaying the name and
version number of the tool.

In the ...\Projects\Tool-name Folder, I have a file called Tool-name.dpr.
This is what I open, and save when making changes to the tool.

However, there is nothing in this code area that mentions the version number
dispplayed in the Help -> About window.

Also in the folder is About.pas. If I open this, I find the variable that
contains the version number, and all the text that is displayed in the
Help -> About window.

So, after modding the code for Tool-name.dpr, saving the project, and
closing it, I then opened About.pas, and updated the version number.

When I then ran Tool-name.exe, the version number had not been updated. So,
I re-loaded Tool-name.dpr, and ran it using the 'play' button, and this time
the version number was correct. On exiting I was asked if I wanted to save,
which I did, and now all seems corrcet.

What I would like to know, is how do I ensure that the Tool-name.exe file is
totally up to date, and what files from the ...\Projects\Tool-name Folder do
I need to ship to ensure full functionality?

Thanks,
