  Exactly, but all this means nothing.  I could rewrite the "ver" function in
DOS or in Windows 95 to say anything I wanted.  All that it demonstrates is
that someone has changed the code for the ver function.  It doesn't prove
anything *else* have changed.  I'm not bashing/praising Windows 95, just saying
that "ver" is almost certainly independent of the rest of the OS.
