Find saved Allegro version of a .brd?

If I have a brd file is there a way to find out what version of allegro it was last saved with?

Thanks, -Mike

Try using the batch utility "dbstat"
dbstat [-v] [-p] [-t] <filename.ext> ... <designM>
Dbstat reports the Allegro design revision and platform architecture.

How does dbstat report to my skill program if I run e.g.

axlRunBatchDBProgram("dbstat" strcat("dbstat -v " axlCurrentDesign() ".brd"))

axlRunBatchDBProgramm doesn't have a return value neither it is writing a log file. Is there any chance to get the Current Brd File Version into a variable that I can use.

axlRunBatchDBProgram can't pipe as far as I know.

Try:

system(sprintf(nil, "dbstat -v %s.brd >%s.dat", axlCurrentDesign(), axlCurrentDesign()))
