I have ruled out agetversion and the way the builder writes the version information (thanks to your help) and have determined it to be a behavior of how windows 98 reads/writes version information to/from a Novell Server.

I am compiled the program on WinNT(4.0,SP5) which creates an EXE that contains version information that can be read on any machine except Win98. I compile the same application on Win98 and it creates an EXE with version information that can be read on any machine. Here is the wierd part - if I manualy map root a drive on the win98 to the network folder where the EXE is contained I get version information on the file that was complied on WinNT.

Moving on...
