SUMMARY
=======
The syntax for the SETVER command is as follows:
setver [drive:path] filename version
Where [drive:path] refers to the drive and the path of SETVER, not the filename
that will follow it. When using the SETVER /? help menu, this syntax is not at
first apparent. The following example adds the file C:\PROGRAM.EXE:
setver c:\dos c:\program.exe 4.01
