Allison, I know what the syntax for setver is...it just wouldn't work in
this instance and we didn't have the time to disassemble a 15 year old
application to determine why. It was just easier to get an old DOS
version and boot off a floppy. The app also wouldn't run from any disk
but the original factory 360k floppy disk. Even a CopyIIPC copy board I
used to have wouldn't copy it.

SETVER unfortunately works better in the breach than the barrel. It's a
nice idea, would have been great if it had worked consistently.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
