Thanks! I've never seen this program, but methinks it shall be very useful.

Hi,
There are some “unofficial” tests for genuine MS-DOS that can be used (within
reason) to establish a “level” playing field for DOS. Microsoft used these
methods as a part of the AARD code hidden in the Windows 3.1x startup program.
Undocumented DOS discusses the AARD code somewhat in

Of course, you could just always rather test the "big dogs" of the DOS
world: Turbo C, Lotus 1-2-3, Doom, QBASIC, etc I don't know of a
good list of tools off-hand, but obviously things like DJGPP or
OpenWatcom or FASM (or maybe small *nix utils like sed)

I personally think you're barking up the wrong tree. Not only would such a
thing be impractical to implement, there would be no pragmatic benefit to it
that I can see. Even different versions of MS-DOS have different
characteristics and features that would make such a program difficult, if

Night is coming along well so
Not that I'm aware of. Such a thing has never really been needed, since
MS-DOS was always the gold standard, and Microsoft set the goalposts for
most of DOS history. A "compatibility check" tool would have had to come
out of Microsoft, but I can't see they would have been motivated to create
