Re: vDosXy: version numbering fix



Hello Martin,

The version numbering has been sorely missing. This download has
vDos.EXE files that have support for the VER command, and are touched to
show the version from a DIR listing (when unzipped this shows as the
"modified" date in the file info). In these files is the "reported DOS
version" string has been hex-edited to give the correct vDosXy version
number. Nothing else has been done. You can also tell the versions apart
by looking at the file size. Check the readme.txt included in the download.

What is the executable date (or version number --- is there one?)? I have never had a crash, but I think I'm using an old version (executable 2014-12-15). Running Xy4 in vDosXy for me is extremely smooth. In fact, in at least one respect, better than running it under real DOS/Windows. Under real DOS/Windows, XyWrite reported that the dir of any non-default directory for which the archive bit set was empty, if I remember correctly. Under vDosXy such directories are listed correctly. Martin
