Hi and welcome Jamie!
> Interestingly enough 1.3rc reports the version as 7.10 That is the level of our MS DOS compatibility, in this case Windows 98 style DOS with FAT32 support and, if you load the right drivers, long file name support. If you request the OEM number with int 21 function 3000, BH will be FD like FreeDOS. You also get CX=0 and BL=the kernel revision (last two digits) from int 21 function 30, for example 39 for kernel generation 2039. As FreeDOS specific extension of the system data area list of lists (use int 21 function 52 to get a pointer) you can read internal and setver-able DOS version, the revision number and a pointer to the version string. Note that FreeDOS 1.3 is the version of the distro, not of the kernel - similar things apply for Linux distros. An easy method to get the FreeDOS release string is int 21 function 33ff, which returns a pointer in DX:AX. Function 33fc can set the setver DOS version.
