For upgrade purposes, I'm needing to know what versions of DOS my users are
running (I know we've got everything from 3.0 - 4.01 (shudder)).  So I whip out
my Netware C Interface and begin coding. MUCH TO MY DISMAY, I discover that the
docs are incorrect in Diagnostic Services when describing the OSVersionStruct
that appears in DIAG.H.

Here's the scoop: right now, I can find out that *everyone* on my network (>150
users right now) is using MSDOS.  Well, I knew that going in.  Apparently,
Novell decided to change this Struct format from the 1.1 version of the
interface to the 1.2 version.

Question: is there any way I can get the 1.1 version info without having to
use the entire package?  I'd *really* like to know *what* version of MSDOS
these people are running without having to go to each machine in several
buildings to find out.

Please respond via email unless there are other requests for this type of
information.
