Displaying the version numbers of the source used in an executable. IDENT for QNX6 - #IDENT directives -  
Hi,

I'm trying to find the way to know version numbers of the source used to genarate an executable in QNX6. We've been 
lately uploading our code to a CVS server so this would be a great deal for us.

We are doing this right now with our QNX4 projects using RCS IDENT and CVS keywords. Basically, we declare a variable 
containing the information we want to read afterwards: 
[static char rcsid[]="$Id$"] [CVS replaces $Id$ with the info]
And then, we get to know revision numbers using the IDENT utility.

But, in QNX6 ther is no RCS or IDENT (correct me if I am wrong). Does anybody know the way to do the same we are doing 
in QNX4?? 

I've been trying some alternatives but none of them has worked:
  - I've tried de #ident directive which the preprocessor ignores.
  - I've tried the "use -s" but I am always getting "No info available in ..." So, clearly I am    putting the 
information in the wrong place.  

BTW, I'm using IDE 3.0 under QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP2
