DOS version??

**Polgi-Wan** · Oct 22nd, 2002, 09:21 PM

hi friends,

just would like to ask a simple question. how does one know the DOS version one is using?

(and do you know a good resource for complete DOS commands/functions?)

thanks!

Usually when dos boots it shows the version.

Use the ver command

that's right, just type ver at the command prompt!

thanks, guys.

but. like if i have an MS-Windows NT or 2000 system, will i be able to know which DOS version I am using?

i could be wrong but when i type ver command at the prompt, it only shows me the Windows system version not the DOS version...

good day !

It shows what it is operating under and i beleve the other value is your dos version

thank you.

in windows 2000, it shows the 'dos version' enclosed in square brackets.

but in windows nt version 4.0, i think it does not reveal the dos version.

hmmmm

Sorry i have never used NT 4.0 but it certainly returns a Value in Windows 98

NT or 2000 does not have DOS, just an emulator. cmd.exe has nothing to do with DOS, it's a full Win32 App.
