the resident part of SETVER (MS-DOS 6.22) when loaded as a device driver is 464 byte on my system. This is mainly the version table (4Bh bytes for other stuff like the device header). The SETVER device driver notifies the kernel about the location of the table. The far pointer to the table is stored at 37h of the LoL [1]. So by _far_ smaller you mean in the order of a few bytes? As the table gets larger, more RAM gets occupied. So this MIGHT become an issue if one enters hundreds of additional entries to the table. But had this ever be an issue?
