Use Dos 6.22 Programs, like "more"?

Hi all

I'm using dosbox 0.72 and it's working great. But I want to use an old application which is using the program "more" from dos 6.22

More is not iplemented in dosbox and if I start it from the dos 6.22 folder it's telling me "wrong dos version"

Is there a way to get this and other old Dos 6.22 applications running?

Or is there a way to use Dos 6.22 instead of built-in Dos?

Thanks

Or use "less" instead of "more". There's a DOS version at http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/download.html.

Ok, thanks to you both

The "ver set" makes sense. I will try it out in the next few day.

And thanks about "less", but it's not only this application. I probably also need others from dos 6.22

just know that you can't do:
dir | more
as | isn't supported
