INSTALLATION: Although loading DOSVER resident without any of the
 optional command-line parameters is adequate to run the program - the default
 values then being applicable - wider possibilities are available to the user
 if the time is taken to become acquainted with these parameters.

 Syntax: DOSVER [/v...] [/f] [/l]

	/vXX.YY  - set a DOS version, XX.YY is a version decimal number;

	/vhXX.YY - set a DOS version, XX.YY is a version hexadecimal number;
           	   For DR-DOS - 67.10, for NovellDOS - 72.10.

	/va      - set automatic requested version control (default).
	           Detect requested version in most cases, although there is a
                   possibility of unsuccesful detection; for example, SI of

                   you may disable this option.

	/l -       don't draw lines.

 Scancodes may be detected with SCANCODE.COM
