Hello Eric,
I think CALLVER is *not* an implementation of SETVER. But I also think that SETVER is *not* needed for FreeDOS 1.0 -
it's needed 'this programs was only tested with DOS 5.0, please upgrade' style programs.
because basically only MS programs are picky about the exact version number anyway.
a) shouldn't be needed b) kernel programmers have a MUCH better solution for this problem.
AnyDOS=TRUE in config.sys?
btw, you're messing up the To: address a bit. Also happened to me, which resulted in private mails ending up on the list. "(To: Eric Auer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)"
still not clear if CALLVER can be implemented into FreeCOM: "CALL /V:X.YZ program.exe /options" CALLVER requires FreeCOM anyway, instead of patching MSDOS version presented.
@echo off from now on, MS DOS version is 8.00 for all programs DOSVER 8.00
what about MS COMMAND.COM ? I can't load 2 different MS-COMMAND versions (from config.sys ofcourse) without also changing VERSION=
and then that VERSION statement is global for all programs:
VERSION=8.00 SHELL=C:\WIN_ME\COMMAND.COM C:\WIN_ME\ /P ;how to set back the version now to 7.10 for all other programs?
does this imply SHELL= should act like ANYDOS=TRUE has been set?
guess I'm a bit offtopic now :(
Bernd
