Error: Incorrect DOS version running APPEND (due to not recognized by Win 95).
Error:
Incorrect DOS version (when running APPEND).
Cause:
Windows 95 DOS does not include the APPEND command.
Solution:
Add the Append.exe from the previous MS-DOS version to the SETVER table to make it work in Windows 95.
NOTE: The following task should be performed by a qualified computer technician. Use the SETVER command to enable the use of Append.exe for a program or device.
CAUTION: Using the APPEND utility from an earlier version of MS-DOS may prevent Windows 95 and Windows-based applications from creating valid path names for files.
1) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
2) Select 'Programs'.
Select 'Programs'
3) Select 'MS-DOS Prompt'.
4) Return to the previous MS-DOS directory:
a) If the prompt is in the C:\WINDOWS directory, type the following and press ENTER to access the root directory:
CD\
b) Type the following and press ENTER:
CD\<DOS>
(where <DOS> represents the directory containing the previous version of MS-DOS).
NOTE: The version of MS-DOS used by Windows 95 is located in the \WINDOWS\COMMAND directory.
5) Type the following at the prompt:
SETVER APPEND.EXE 7.00
6) Make sure the batch file required to run the program contains the Append.exe statement. (A message appears, requesting that the computer be rebooted for the command to take effect.)
SETVER
7) Click the 'Start' button, select 'Shut down...', and select the 'Restart the computer' radio button.
8) Click 'Yes'.
