# Version

> [HTML Version](version.htm)

The **-v** switch displays the current version of A-Shell. This is displayed prior to any automatically executed command. A typical output might be: 

==== A-Shell/32 Ver. 4.9(925)c-2 running under MIAME Version 1.2(214) ====

                        (c) MicroSabio 1990, 2000



Note that the **-v** switch is entirely superfluous with recent versions of A-Shell, since the standard license message (which displays every time A-Shell is launched) includes all of the information shown by the switch.
