VER HIDDEN PARAMETERS

    VER is an internal MS-DOS command, built into COMMAND.COM. An actual file does not exist.
    IMPORTANT: To become familiar with the VER command line switch (the documented one anyway), run one of these commands from any DOS prompt:
    VER /?
    or:
    HELP VER
    valid for all MS-DOS 6.xx and Windows 95/98/ME users.

    VER /R [MS-DOS 5.00 and above ONLY]

    VER /R (REVISION) displays extended DOS info: the DOS revision and the memory location of the DOS module, in addition to using the plain VER command.
    Example of screen output for plain VER command (using Win98 SE + MS-DOS 7.10):

    "Windows 98 [Version 4.10.2222]"

    Example of screen output for VER /R command (using Win98 SE + MS-DOS 7.10):

    "Windows 98 [Version 4.10.2222]
     Revision A
     DOS is in HMA    "
