D - Verifying DMD version

Digital Mars D Compiler v0.75
Copyright (c) 1999-2003 by Digital Mars written by Walter Bright
www.digitalmars.com/d/index.html
Usage:
dmd files.d ... { -switch }
files.d D source files
-c do not link
-d allow deprecated features
-g add symbolic debug info
-gt add trace profiling hooks
-v verbose
-O optimize
-odobjdir write object files to directory objdir
-offilename name output file to filename
-op do not strip paths from source file
-Ipath where to look for imports
-Llinkerflag pass linkerflag to link
-debug compile in debug code
-debug=level compile in debug code <= level
-debug=ident compile in debug code identified by ident
-inline do function inlining
-release compile release version
-unittest compile in unit tests
-version=level compile in version code >= level
-version=ident compile in version code identified by ident
This is from the latest download.
I have the dmc.zip installed first, and then dmd overtop of it
(i.e. if there is any overlap between dmc/dm and dmd/dm then the
one in dmd overwrites it.
This tells me I have the wrong compiler. WIthout a nice little
-V option to tell me just the version of the compiler, it is
difficult to authoritatively assertain what is going on.
Lastly, some of the samples included with the distribution are not
working--namely those that deal with DLLs. I don't know if it means
anything, but I am running XP pro.

The dserver.d, dclient.d, test.d, etc. samples are not working. The dserver/dclient does compile (using the script included), but only displays a bunch of error dialog boxes showing some sort of state info.

For instance, the actual file can be any one of these: dmd-0.75.zip dmd-0.76.zip .... dmd-0.91.zip But the universal download link to get the latest would be something like this: dmd-latest.zip In UNIX, all you need to do to create a symbolic link is: ln -s dmd-0.91.zip dmd-latest.zip I would imagine that the web server is UNIX based... Of course, the brute force of having a separate copy of the latest with a new name would also work...Could you start the habit of including the version into the zip file name?

But I also want the old versions of DMD to disappear <g>.
