What happened?

Joacim had the idea to fool UGS when running a test version of FLC. UGS expects 3.3.0 or higher. I used $Start/Message to sert FNC v4.0.0 (see last line in startup messages), but the first line still says 3.x.0

msg:info is not the start message

[daxliniere]

No worries. Thought we had a workaround.

[MitchBradley]

Parsing that info message is not a good way to detect version info. That message might not even be present if message/level is set to lower than info. We dpn't guarantee that the format of any info messages will stay the same; they are purely for human consumption.

[MitchBradley]

If there is important knowledge that can only be gained from info messages, we need to have a discussion about a more formal way to present it, as part of the protocol specification. The INFO tag is for stuff that is explicitly not guaranteed to be present or stable in its format.
