There have been several comments lately about windows version 2.17.
What has happened is that different programs are interpreting the version
number differently.  There is no 2.17 -- this the 11 in 2.11 being viewed
in hex (11h is 17 decimal).   Sigh, a minor ambiguity in the sdk docs.

Current release of windows 286 and windows 386 is at 2.11 (or 2.17 for
you decimal folks). You should rely on the File/aBout box in the MS-DOS
Exec for the `correct' version number rather than any other means.
