I have encountered the similar problem back in my old shop. Just like you, we h ave a wide variety of PCs from different vendors and each of them run their own version of MSDOS. What we (the technical support group) believe is that the various MSDOS is at le ast 99% compatible with the IBM PCDOS. You should not encounter major problems runninf the normal application software unless you are making use of some undocumented features to write your own progra ms. We have a simple bypass to the problem. We did a simple surgery to the NET.COM program to make it skip the checking of DOS version. This can be done by using the DEBUG commands and look up for the interrupt call of the DOS version checkin g. We also did the same thing to the LAN Support program (v1.01,v1.02) to make it r un on the older DOS 3.1. You make want to try this out.

Using debug to patch version number checking? This is what SETVER is supposed to do. I saw that setver for IBM DOS 5.0 has a different table in it than MS DOS 5.0, but the table can be altered using the setver command. Let me know if this helped. -- Peer Stritzinger Phone: +(49)8141-90613 Fax: +(49)8141-95235 Internet: stritzi@physik.tu-muenchen.de
