How can I tell which version of VC was used to create a .lib file?

Thanks, Jeff

i'm not 100% sure, but you could try opening
it as you would a text file, and then trying
to find a version description nr.

No such luck. I've tried using lib.exe and dumpbin.exe to no avail. Any one
with any other ideas?

Thanks, Jeff

I don't think you can. A LIB is nothing more than a collection of OBJ files
and unless there is a comment record or debug records you won't know. A
complete list of dependencies might enable you to make an informed guess.

Thanks, that's what I've gathered after digging through the output from lib
and dumpbin.
