Your right comparing it to the company name change. it is a big WHO

CARES all round.
I personally think they should rename it to "The JED Language" (TJL
(tm)).
Perhaps I will allow them to call it that when they put the implements
keyword back into the dot net compiler.

I don't believe that there is any compiler directive to
indicate that, no.
Almost certainly, there a simple bug that one could check

to see if it has been fixed that would distinguish 7.1.

That would work at "runtime" but Steve is asking for some way to detect the version at
"Compile" time. This could be done in the IDE with a "addin" but I do not think it would
usable from a command line compile.

It seems that the CompilerVersion and RTLVersion constants were not

changed. So it is hard to tell, during compilation.
