# 5. Platform-dependent packages

Certain facilities have been developed for use on Unix-like platforms, which is currently the main development target for Yacas. Other facilities have limited support on the Windows platform as well. These functions are described in this chapter.

Version | show version of Yacas

###

Version -- show version of Yacas

##### Internal function

##### Calling format:

    Version()

##### Description:

The function `Version()` returns a string representing the version of the currently running Yacas interpreter.

##### Examples:

    In> Version()
    Out> "1.0.48rev3";
    In> LessThan(Version(), "1.0.47")
    Out> False;
    In> GreaterThan(Version(), "1.0.47")
    Out> True;

The last two calls show that the `LessThan` and `GreaterThan` functions can be used for comparing version numbers. This method is only guaranteed, however, if the version is always expressed in the form `d.d.dd` as above.
