Program vesrion?

[StarWeaver]

Hm... whats' the easiest way to determine what version of a piece of software i have installed is. Example: Sawfish. There is /usr/bin/sawfish ... but there is no man page and i don't know how to get the version for it aside from looking it up in the slackware package archives....?

Badly phrased :(

You can usually run it with -V or --version. Like, gcc --version should return its version (I think).
