Sorry if this has been covered before but...

Is there a nifty program that lists all your libraries in one place, shows what version they are and helps you update them if they should be updated to the latest versions?  

Besides wanting to have the latest and best versions of my libs, I am asking because I now have this (fairly) stable 3.9 BB1&2 install and when I install some older programs I suspect that some of them copy their older versions of libraries over my newer ones without asking.  Recently I installed some software and I believe it did that as my system immediately started getting buggy and crashing.  I reinstalled 3.9 and BB 1 & 2 again and the system started behaving again, but I would like to have a more organized way of knowing whats what and keeping it that way.

Ideas?
Castellan(anthony) keeps updated mui libs list here i think,as well as other goodies:

Do a copy all clone with the current sys and BB1&2 to back up  somehwere on the drive in case you blow it up, then you have a restore point.

in dopus 4.12 or better its easy to highlight the libs for version and send output to a text file.

That would be great!  I'm sure a few of us here would use such a tool.  :)

I agree, it would be nice.

Back in the olden days around early 2000's? there was a website with all the updated mui libs and i seem to remember having my 4000 automated to update libs from there. cant recall for the life of me what the prog was that did it.  maybe i just dreamed this?

this is not it, but hmmm...  http://www.hofmann-int.de/products/amiga/mui/MCC-Install.shtml.en
