Int 21 Fn 3306 - Dos 5+ - Get True Version Number [D]
AX = 3306h
Return: BL = major version
BH = minor version
DL = revision (bits 2-0, all others 0)
DH = version flags
bit 3: DOS is in ROM
bit 4: DOS is in HMA
AL = FFh if true DOS version < 5.0
Notes: this function always returns the true version number, unlike AH=30h,
whose return value may be changed with SETVER
because of the conflict from the CBIS redirector (see next
entry), programs should check whether BH is less than 100 (64h)
and BL is at least 5 before accepting the returned BX as the true
version number; however, even this is not entirely reliable when
that redirector is loaded
fully reentrant
OS/2 v2.1 will return BX=0A14h (version 20.10)
the Windows NT DOS box returns BX=3205h (version 5.50)
Novell DOS 7 returns IBM v6.00, which some software displays as
IBM DOS v6.10 (because of the version mismatch in true IBM DOS
mentioned for INT 21/AH=30h); versions through Update 15 all
return revision code 00h
Windows95 and Windows95 SP1 return version 7.00; Windows95 OSR2 returns
version 7.10
BUG: DR DOS 5.0 and 6.0 return CF set/AX=0001h for INT 21/AH=33h
subfunctions other than 00h-02h and 05h, while MS-DOS returns AL=FFh
for invalid subfunctions
