<p class="MsoNormal">I know that in the file<br>

| GRASS_BASE_DIRECTORY/etc/VERSIONNUMBER<br>
`----<br>
<br>
the version number is stored, but I have two questions:<br>
<br>
1) is this the same between systems (I saw it in Mac Linux and Windows)?<br>
2) I assume the location of this file is very un-likely to change?<br>
3) can the internal structure of the GDRASS_BASE_DIRECTORY be configured<br>
during the build process (particularly the bin/ and the location of<br>
VERSIONNUMBER), and if yes, how can I obtain the location of these folders?<br>
<br>
So: would there be any downside in just reading this file to determine<br>
the version of GRASS GIS, as the grass startup script seems to be<br>
reading from that file as well?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
