Isn't this the same reason why DOS 5.00 came with SETVER?  Because too many
people wrote programs which read:

        GetOSVersion(&major, &minor);
        if(major != 2)
        {
          printf("Incorrect OS version!\n");
          exit(1);
        }
        etc.

Instead of putting : if(major < 2)

I understand the reasoning behind reporting 2.30, but I'd rather it reported
3.00 and gave us some other way of getting errent programs to run.
