Look in the manifest directory.  It should have two text files for
each zip you installed; one has the version number, plus they're named
after the zips, which have version numbers in the names.

Also, you can look inside lib/libc.a for a version string, or in any
program you link it with, that tells you when that copy of libc was
built.  The "ident" program from v2gnu/rcs5713b.zip can find and print
these strings for you.

Or, you can compare the size of libc.a with the sizes at

bytes for 2.01)
