Command: ver
VER displays the FreeDOS version information. By default,
only the version of the command shell (FreeCOM) is reported.
Syntax:
VER [/R] [/W] [/D] [/C]
Options:
none Shows COMMAND.COM version number.
/R Shows the KERNEL and COMMAND.COM version numbers. When
VERSION=x.yy is set in CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS
it also shows this DOS version number.
/W Shows the FreeDOS command shell warranty.
/D Shows the FreeDOS command shell distribution information.
/C The FreeCOM acknowledgements section. It lists contributors.
Comments:
The CALLVER DOS version is NOT shown by VER /R.
VER is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
Example 1:
ver Shows COMMAND.COM version number.
ver /R Shows KERNEL and COMMAND.COM version number and
if set, the DOS version number set by version.
ver /W Shows the FreeDOS command shell warranty.

ver /C The FreeCOM acknowledgements section. It lists contributors.
Example 2:
In CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:

ver /r Shows KERNEL and COMMAND.COM version number and
DOS-Version 9.99
Example 3:
