Hi Jerome,

... my DONUTS package (Disk and Other New Utility Tool Suite for DOS) [1]

It contains several very small simple tools.

BOOTDRV Returns system boot drive.
DOSOEMID        Returns DOS OEM ID.
DOSVER          Returns DOS version number.
LASTDRV Returns LASTDRIVE setting.

SWITCHAR        Returns Switch Character setting.
TESTANSI        Returns status of ANSI support (network terminal compatible)
VERIFLAG        Returns state of DOS write verify flag.
VIDKIND         Returns video card graphics support kind (MDA through SuperVGA).

They output the data in a format like “BOOT_DRIVE=C:”
which could be redirected to a batch file to change env settings.

Compiled, the current set of utilities adds up to a total of 738 bytes worth of 
binaries.

It would be better to have 1 tool which can do all, using
command line options. Depending on your cluster size, DONUTS
will take between 4kB and 256kB (or 512kB) of disk space :-p

Regards, Eric

PS: I agree with Michael regarding signal to noise on the
list. Not very useful to have a thread full of "+1" etc.
