I would like to find out if there is a command line program which can get the file version number from FAT or NTFS partition in NT4.0. Thanks

I believe that you can type in the command VER and receive this information (it works in 2000, and 98, it should also work in NT)

I would like the file version number of a file, not the version number of the operating system. Sorry for not making the question very clear.

As far as I know, the VER command in WinNT would display the version of the OS, not of a file. I only
know of one tool that'd to that-Directory Toolkit. It can be found on Simtel.net (the link below).It is a
multipurpose directory comparison andfile/archive manager for all versions of Windows, and it is accessible
from NT CLI. (It's command line switches should be included in it's documentation). But ,I must note that file
version info display is not it's primary function, and it only displays file version info for .exe, .dll and .ocx
files . Far from perfect.

Perhaps u should do a Web search for a better tool.
