In the FSF GNU coding standards document (no useful (linkable)
version available, just the horrid info file in your email or info
browsers) it states that:
"""
All programs should support two standard options: `--version' and
`--help'.
"""
Yet the dia-0.90.RC2 I just compiled does not do this basic option:
ahost$ ./app/dia --version
Error on option --version: unknown option.
Run './app/dia --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
I know it's simple, but it's one of the first things I check to see
if the GNU coding standards have been read and used. They are quite
good so long as you ignore the part about not doing man pages...
