How can I tell which version I'm running?

How can I tell which version I'm running?

[Chris Gehlker]

OK, a silly newbie question but it's no in the FAQ. How do I get zsh to tell
me which version it is. I got it preinstalled.

In addtion to $ZSH_VERSION, you can try running `zsh --version'; if that
doesn't work, you have a version from more than a year ago.

I may be remembering this incorrectly, but wasn't it $VERSION somewhere
around zsh 2.5?

Yes.  I actually have this in my .zshenv:

# Set variables sanely for assorted versions
: ${VERSION:="$ZSH_NAME $ZSH_VERSION"}
: ${MACHTYPE:+${HOSTTYPE::=$MACHTYPE-$OSTYPE}}
: ${MACHTYPE:=${HOSTTYPE%%-*}}
: ${OSTYPE:=${HOSTTYPE#*-}}
