Purpose: Makes Version 5 of DOS appear to be an earlier version
when an
application requires it.
Discussion
The SETVER command displays the version table and reports a DOS version
number
to programs or device drivers.
Use this command if you want to display and modify the version table,
which
lists names of programs and the number of the MS-DOS version they are
designed
to run with. If you want to use a program that has not been updated for
DOS 6,
you can add its name to the version table by using the SETVER command.
Options
number - Specifies the DOS version number 2.11 to 9.99.to be reported
by
SETVER.EXE to the specified filename. The /delete and /quiet options
cannot be
used with this option.
/delete - Used to remove a file from the version table. Can be
abbreviated
to /D. You cannot use the number option with /delete.
/quiet - Used to keep DOS from displaying messages (used with
/delete).
