Syntax

{$DESCRIPTION 'text'}

Scope

Global



Remarks

The $D directive inserts the text you specify into the module description entry in the header of an executable, DLL, or package. Traditionally the text is a name, version number, and copyright notice, but you may specify any text of your choosing. For example:


{$D 'My Application version 12.5'}

The string can't be longer than 256 bytes. The description is usually not visible to end users. To mark you executable files with descriptive text, version and copyright information for the benefit of end users, use version info resources.

Note: The text description must be included in quotes.
