[comp.os.msdos.misc] Setver and 4DOS help needed

rubin@visual1.jhuapl.edu (Don Rubin) (06/14/91)

Having installed DOS 5 along with QEMM etc. on one
of my machines I have one (?) remaining problem.
Some of the TSRs I use complain about needing DOS 3.x
I tried using SETVER as documented but since 4DOS is
my primary shell (a rather old copy 3.0 I think) it
doesn't recognize the command "SETVER mytsr 3.30".
I must admit I didn't fool with this too much (is was
enough to get the other stuff to work) but perhaps
someone has already solved this one. Much thanks...

Did you include the line:

	DEVICE=drive:\directory\SETVER.EXE

in your CONFIG.SYS file?  It works for me.

While reading the DOS 5.0 manual I read something about device=setver.exe or
something similar b4 you can use setver. Either that or setver isn't on your
path. You might also want to use SETVER mytsr.EXE 3.30 or whatever. The
extension might be necessary (probably is) I will get around to solving these
problems for myself when I install 5.0 after exams.
