I need the command line to check the version of my windows version. (and see if it is = 4.00.950a), if not....(procedure)
I will do this in a batch file and use it with an IF command.

If you are running Windows 95 you just need to type VER at the command line, This tells you both your DOS version as your Windows version!

OK, I know you want to run ver at the prompt, and it can be run in a bat file.

Now that that's out of my system, run "VER /R" at the prompt and it will return the exact dos and windows ver. You will have to test to see what ver it is (see below). i.e.

4.10.1998 = 98 first edition
4.10.2000 = 98 secound edition i thingk

you will have to go to all 4 95's (950, 95a, 95b, 95c, yes there was a c a.k.a. osr2.5) and the 2 98's and build a list

email if you need help w/ some of the ver list, i have access to most of them.
