[comp.os.os2.misc] DOS under OS/2

imj502@csc.anu.edu.au (02/22/91)

G'Day,

I have some beginner's questions, so I was hoping to find a FAQ file.  Is there
such a thing available from an FTP site?

Anyway, what I wanted to know was, how does the DOS box work, i.e. is it an
emulation by OS/2, or is it a 'normal' DOS run under OS/2?  I wish to know this
because when typing VER, I get a message saying OS/2 version 1.20 (or something
of that nature), and I would like to know whether it is DOS 3.3 or 4.0.

As you can see, I don't know much about OS/2.  The machine isn't mine, it is
attached to a spectrometer, so to a large extent it is a black box to me.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.  Email would be preferable.

Thanks,
Ian
