Looks like this might finally be the thing that pushes me over the edge
in favor of using rake to build my app. Every time I release a new
version, I release it in a few different flavors, each with slight
modifications. Using rake and the OpenLaszlo gem, I should be able to
write the build time to an XML file that is included in the build,
correct?<br>

that's a good idea, I don't think the compiler bakes the date that the
app was compiled into the app anyplace. It does bake in the information
on the version of LPS that is running though:
<br>
<br>
Debug.versionInfo
()<br>
<br>
will return a string like this<br>

currently dealing with the unpleasant headache of tracking various<br>
installations of different versions of my SOLO app. I've added<br>
functionality to display the version number of the app, but I'd also
<br>
like to include a build number. In fact, I'd prefer to just use the<br>
time at which the app was built if that's possible.<br>
<br>
How could I go about doing this? Some sort of preprocessing directive?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance! :)<br>
