It is used when you need to display the version table. It also reports a version number (earlier than 6.0) to programs or device drivers that were designed for previous versions of MS-DOS.
This command can be used to display and modify the version table, which lists names of programs and the number of the MS-DOS version with which they are designed to run. In case you are using a program that is not updated for this version of MS-DOS then you can add its name to the version table by using the SETVER command.
Syntax
Display current version table: SETVER [drive:path]
Add entry: SETVER [drive:path] filename n.nn
Delete entry: SETVER [drive:path] filename /DELETE [/QUIET]
n.nn Specifies the MS-DOS version to be reported to the program.
/DELETE or /D Deletes the version-table entry for the specified program.
/QUIET or /Q Hides the message typically displayed during deletion of version-table entry.
