Windows API db script

[Dave Miller]

I have posted an update to the script.  Francois Gouget sent a patch 
to fix a problem handling uppercase filenames.  The patched script is 
now available.  Thanks to those who have submitted .ref files.  I have 
five versions so far.  Now it is time to think about what kind of 
queries we want to be able to do...

Hi

Do you plan to present the results of this script on a website ?

You probalby should post the versions you already got and you still ned, so we
don't send it twice (or have to waste time installing a clean setup).

Thanks for this tool. Quite nice. :)

Ok, here is what I have.

win98-4.10.1998
win95-4.00.950
winme-4.90.3000
winnt40-sp1-4.0.1381
winnt40-sp6-4.0.1381
win2k-sp1-5.00.2195

Should the service pack level change the OS version number?

I would say yes, it certainly is important info, and it doesn't
change the OS name...

I just checked it again. If I open the properties for "this computer" I get
the same version number than with SP1 which has been installed by default. I
also verfied that the SP6a is really installed, so the version doesn't change
with a service pack.

Sorry, I guess there was some miscommunication. I meant that we _should_ have
the Service Pack as part of the version. What we have now it's cool. Maybe
we should place it after the version:

wine98-4.00.123-SP6a.ref

In general terms:

<name>-<version>-<service-pack>.ref

Ok, it just seems strange that the OS is updated but the version doesn't
change.  :)  I will simply include the SP where appropriate as suggested
below.

Actually, a call to GetVersion(Ex) will tell you different things for 
the Service Pack field. But the rest of the info (version, subversion, 
build) will be the same.
