DOS Setver

An external command starting with DOS 5 that updates a version table containing names of programs and the DOS version number they need to run under. Programs may test version numbers and function differently as a result (all DOS's are not the same), but some programs didn't plan on DOS 5 and DOS 6 as future numbers. This command "fakes them out" by supplying them with the version number they need.

A list of known programs in the version table is included, and the DOS install program puts a device=setver.exe line in the CONFIG.SYS file, which loads the version table.

To see the current list, type:

             setver

You can add and delete programs to the list. To set the program OLDPROG.EXE to Version 3.3, type:

          setver oldprog.exe 3.30

To remove it from the list, type:

          setver oldprog.exe /delete
