Identifying Rose and Petal version:

"version" KEYWORD in petal file:

The keyword "version" is part of the petal version header that appears at the top of each petal file. The value behind this keyword is the petal version.

"_written" KEYWORD in petal file:

As part of the petal version header that appears at the top of each petal file, Rational added a new field called "_written" which will hold the product name and version. This was added to later 4.0 versions. For example:

(object Petal
version 42
_written "Rose 4.0.11")

Rose writes out this information even when saving as 3.0 and 4.0 format. i.e. If you save back to an old fomrat like 3.0, _written will still show the version of Rose writting this file. For example:

(object Petal
version 37
_written "Rose 6.5.9232.10")

_written was an unused part of the language, which means those versions will be able to parse it just fine and not return any error.
