SETVER Command overview MS-DOS 5.00 05/13/90
SETVER is an external MS-DOS command which allows the user todetermine the MS-DOS version number will be reported by MS-DOSto a specified user application. This will allow applicationswhich check for a specific version of MS-DOS to run underMS-DOS 5.0.
A version table has been included as part of the MS-DOS systemfiles on the user's boot disk. SETVER will update the systemfiles so that next time and times thereafter, that MS-DOS isbooted, the updated version table will be in effect. NOTE: Thechanges to the version table will not take effect until theuser reboots using the updated version of the table.
NOTE: Currently there is 512 bytes set aside for entries in the table but Ericst may want to up it in the near future so for right now I wouldn't mention the number of entries which the table will hold. Right now it will hold a minimum of 34 entries.
