this might sound silly (and you guys most likely don't care, what version _i_ have installed). however, the 'menu -> help -> About Pd' tells me:
Pd version 0.40.3
for magical reasons this is usually correct.
when i load [version] from hcs, it gives me:
0 41 0 test06 Dec 7 2007 03:24:18
version is actually broken in the implementation, as it reports the version of Pd the object was _compiled_ against, not the one it is running in.
this is done because it is easy to find out the version of pd at
compile time, but not so easy at runtime.the likely argument is, that you should run pd-extended and use the version in there, which will (hopefully) be compiled against the same version as it is running in.
[version] is a quick hack. Ideally it would get the version of the
running Pd. I suppose there could be a function in Pd that returned
the version. Patches welcome :)

when i load hexloader, which i just compiled, i get:
hex loader $Revision: 1.5 $ written by IOhannes m zm�nig, IEM zmoelnig@iem.at compiled on Mar 11 2008 at 11:03:15 compiled against Pd version 0.40.3.
again, this version-number tells you only the version of Pd the hexloader was compiled against. it has nothing to do with the
version of Pd you are actually running.aaah, and now i realized, that there is simply 'pd -version',
which also gives me:Pd version 0.40-3 compiled 06:47:02 Nov 28 2007
this is the one that can be trusted most.
