The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The AddStor compression information utility, SSUTIL, incorrectly reports the
following information about MS-DOS version 6.0:
VERSION is MS-DOS 5.0
REPORTED version is 6.0
CAUSE
=====
SSUTIL looks at the boot record signature to determine the version of MS-DOS. It
then calls the GetMSDOSVersion() function to determine the reported version
number.
Because the boot record signature is the same for MS-DOS 5.0 and MS-DOS 6.0,
SSUTIL incorrectly reports the version number.
NOTE: The incorrect version number detection does not cause any problems or
incompatibilities between MS-DOS 6.x and the AddStor utility.
Additional query words: 6.22 6.00 6.20
