TextFile

    This program is used to  display the version of a file or running
    iop kernel. It requires that "what strings" be imbedded in files
    for proper operation. It will sacn the file or currently running iop
    kernel for the "what string" and then display the formatted string on
    the console. 
    
    A what string should be of the following format:
    
    '@(#)WHAT,1.6,90/08/14,10:08:00\';

    where:
        "@(#)"      => the what string preamble, something sufficiently unique
                       so as not to look like binary code and/or data.
                       
         "WHAT"     => is the module name in this case the module name is
                       WHAT
                       
         "1.6"      => is the version of the module
         
         "90/08/14" => is the date of the last revision to the module
         
         "10:08:00" => is the time of the last revision to the module
         
         ","        => creates line breaks in the formatted display
         
         "\"        => is the what string postamble

COMMAND = REV
          Used to display the what string from a file.
          applicapable switches = FILENAME
          
COMMAND = RUNNING
          Used to display the what string from the currently running
          IOP kernel.
          applicapable switches = none
          
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SWITCH  = FILENAME=XXXXXXX
          Used to specify the name of the DFS file where XXXX is the full
          DFS filename e.g. FILENAME=RECOVERY.M200


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMMANDS  REV, RUNNING

SWITCHES  FILENAME=XXX
