This will *not* be incompatible because this is just a text output. only difference in that it is a little bigger. M$'s also vary a lot from one to another and I dont believe someone made a parser for that ;-)
2) Kernel version only by numbers is not enough, there are too many variants that show only in the kernel description string string (like fat32)
Kernel 2033 [FAT32, 2004-04-01-CVS, OpenWatcom1.2, UPX1.24-NRV]
(not everything can be set. for example, UPX only happens after compiling the kernel.)
Whith that I van usualy identify one and find it again or information about it.

There is also one other for DR-DOS and something (which I don't know) for Datalife-ROM-DOS. But specificaly for FreeDOS it is not enough because there are far too many versions with the same numbers :(
