Btw, how to you obtain the Library base? OpenLibrary() ?

What happens if the library doesn't exist at all in the client system?

Don't return some random number from main() but always one of the defines from dos/dos.h
#define RETURN_OK 0 /* No problems, success */
#define RETURN_WARN 5 /* A warning only */
#define RETURN_ERROR 10 /* Something wrong */
#define RETURN_FAIL 20 /* Complete or severe failure*/

Just popping in

And this link library only does a OpenLibrary("whatever.library", 0) call. It will open any version and the app will crash.

That still doesn't release you from the responsibility to check for the system revision when you use features added in that revision

How about a future OpenLibrary("my.library", version, revision) function in exec?

Of course, people could just add something like this to their programs:


struct Library* OpenLibrary(STRPTR libraryName, ULONG version, ULONG revision)

 {

  struct Library *base = OpenLibrary(libraryName,0);



  if(base==NULL)

  {

   return NULL;

  }



  if (base->lib_Version > version || (base->lib_Version == version && base->lib_Revision >= revision))

  {

    return base;

  }

  return NULL;

 }

I have updated the library checking tutorial quite a bit (mainly for SpotUp :), and there is some new code sections at the bottom which may prove useful.

People shouldn't be adding functions to libraries without bumping the version number, generally.
