Does anyone know why the DOS supplemental junk that you download from 
ftp.microsoft.com have version checks on them? It's a pain to add stuff 
to SETVER and reboot or to unexepack and hack the programs to disable 
the version checks. (Does Microsoft want to encourage hacking of their 
programs?) I don't think they've posted these programs for Win95 yet.
