4-76 ROM-DOS Internal Commands

V E R S I O N . S Y S

CONFIG.SYS Command

VERSION.SYS modifies the version number that ROM-DOS reports. This
device performs the same function as the Internal VER command. The
difference is that VERSION.SYS allows the change to occur during
CONFIG.SYS processing so that version-specific device drivers can load
properly.

Syntax

DEVICE=VERSION.SYS n.nn

Remarks

Specify the new version number,

n.nn, with two digits after the decimal.

Note that this command revises only the DOS version number record; it
does not change the actual operating system loaded in the computer.

The version number change can be verified after booting using the VER
command.

Example

DEVICE=VERSION.SYS 5.0

Changes the record of current DOS version in use to DOS 5.0. Any
programs that are executed, following this command, recognize that DOS
5.0 is running.
