Is it possible to get the version of Lazarus being used as a string in
code?

I did find the lazarus version in version.inc in the ide directory. 
It is not exactly what I wanted, but accessing this file I can turn it
into a string.

that of course, will only work on machines where Lazarus is installed.
have you thought about using Version Information for the project?
this could be a problem if you are doing a multi-platform program - i
don't know.

Add unit "LCLVersion" to uses section. Then take a look at the consts
defined there

This is only a problem if you interpret the file at runtime. Including
at compile-time it to the code should be no problem.
