I have an old program that uses format.com, mode.com and command.com, but it keeps getting "incorrect dos version". Is there a work around for this? Thanks.

format.com and command.com won't work inside dosbox,
unless you set up the disk image support (see readme).

There's a 3rd party utility that can enable you to bypass that error message. Can't remember what it's called ATM. I'll look around tonight and see if I can find it.
Actually I think it's an official MS-DOS utility called DOSVER.
Dosver does not do much for me. What was your link in the previous message? The one posted does not work. Thanks again.

Looks like SETVER is the MS name, and DOSVER is the third-party utility.
jstrother123: The link works for me. Here is a direct link to the utility's homepage: http://ansis.folklora.lv/dosver/doc.html
I was able to create floppy images of what I needed and mounted them like this:
mount d: d:\
imgmount a: d:\floppy1.img -t floppy
imgmount b: d:\floppy2.img -t floppy
Then I booted the floppy 1 image like this:
boot d:floppy1.img
The operating system boots up, but it has no knowlege of the b: drive. However, the format, mode and command work now. How do I get the b: drive active? Thanks.
