>From the sources:

static void show_version()
{
  printf(_("%s %s compiled at %s %s\n"),
	   PACKAGE, VERSION, __DATE__, __TIME__);
#ifdef __GNUC__
  printf(_("Compiler: g++ %s\n"), __VERSION__);
#endif
#ifdef NCURSES_VERSION
  printf(_("\nNCurses version: %s\n"), NCURSES_VERSION);
#else
  printf(_("\nCurses version: %s\n"), curses_version());

  printf(_("libsigc++ version: %s\n"), SIGC_VERSION);
}


First %s: software name
Second: software version
Third: Date of compilation
Fourth: Time of compilation
