This is a DOS problem all right. Same solution needed to get it running
with Win95 or DOS 6.0.
SETVER KERNEL.EXE 3.30
Make sure you have DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS and then type
the line above at the DOS prompt. Reboot and all should be well.
Virtually all DOS versions after 4.01 (except DR DOS 6.0) use this method
of intercepting calls from an application checking the DOS version. Note it
in your little black book as you will find other programs that will need
a similar solution.
