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.
