Prompt for variable in DOS 7.1


Recommended Posts

Is there a difference between DOS 7.1 and a DOS 7.10? This bootable DOS is made from boot files from a DOS 7.10 (specifically) installation.

 

7.1 is 7.10 as much as 7.0 is 7.00, both do not "exist" the 7.00 (or 7.0 is the same) is the DOS underlying the first release of Windows 95 or Windows 95 A, the 7.1 (or 7.10 is the same) is the DOS underlying the later windows 95 and 98 releases.

Wiindows ME has underlying a DOS 8.0 (or 8.00 is the same).

 

However, the MS-DOS 7.10 from Win 95B/C is slightly different from that in Win 98 FE/SE, so that the latter is sometimes referred to as "7.11", although, in fact, from Win 95B to Win 98SE, MS-DOS will always return "7.10" as major.minor version. One wishing to create a standalone install od MS-DOS for general use should use 7.10 from Win 98SE, since 8.00 is difficult to isolate from Win ME.
