hi Murray,

 ML>     Just to confuse the record further, I am using red Warp 3 GA +
 ML> FixPak 5. I get "3.00" when I type VER from either an OS/2 or DOS

The numbers CMD returns are hard-coded:

[D:\OS2] cmd /c ver

The Operating System/2 Version is 2.11

[E:\OS2] cmd /c ver

The Operating System/2 Version is 3.00

[F:\OS2] cmd /c ver

The Operating System/2 Version is 4.00

[G:\4OS2] ver

4OS2/32 2.5   OS/2 Version is 2.40

all without rebooting...

 ML> Warp 4.  If I were writing programs for anything other than my own
 ML> amusement on my own system that used OpenDoc, checking for a
 ML> version number won't do it. There has to be a better way.

Sure is: Syslevel gives you a fighting change to find out what is installed
and at which level it is.
