23     <h2>Checking the Current Version</h2></a>
24     The version of scram you are using can be found with the command<p>
25     <pre>
26     scram version
27     </pre>
28     <p>
29     <a name=Download>
30     <h2>Downloading Alternative SCRAM versions</h2></a>
31     Once a version of SCRAM has been installed, downloading of other SCRAM versions
32     becomes trivial with the <b>scram version</b> command.
33     <br>
34     If you supply a version number as an argument, SCRAM will check to see if the
35     specified version is already installed. If it isn't then it will attempt to
36     download the requested version automatically.
37     <p>
38     e.g.
39     <pre>
40 sashby 1.4 scram version V0_19_2
41 williamc 1.2 </pre>
42     <p>
43     <a name=Default>
44     <h2>Making a version the default</h2></a>
45     Running the <em>install_scram</em> script of a specific version
46     (see <a href=install.html>Installation Guide</a>)
47     will make that version the default.<p>
48     <a name=Over>
49     <h2>Overriding the default Version</h2></a>
50     The default version can be overridden at any time by setting the
51 sashby 1.4 SCRAM_HOME environment variable to point to the top of the version
52 williamc 1.2 required. It must be the full path to the version.
53     <p>
54 sashby 1.4
55 williamc 1.2 <a name=Auto>
56     <h2>Automated Version Selection</h2></a>
57 sashby 1.4
58 williamc 1.2 Scram can be made to automatically select the correct version to use for a
59 sashby 1.4 given project area, overridding any other version selection mechanism.
60    
61 williamc 1.2 To turn this feature on, simply create the file <em>scram_version</em>
62 sashby 1.4 in your project development/release configuration directory. The file should
63     contain the required SCRAM version tag. Any scram command issued in that area
64     is then directed to the correct version if it is installed.
65     If the required version is not installed then a warning is issued and
66     execution of the command continues within the current version.
