Wasn't there a parameter to ver that would report the internal name? eg
2.45 instead of 4.5.

Assuming you're referring to cmd.exe, what you want is "ver /r".

Except that 'ver' actually reports 4.50 (or whatever) anyway. The /r
also includes the kernel revision (which will be wrong if you've
manually updated the kernel).

That doesn't give you the internal version number. Fromver /r:

The Operating System/2 Version is 4.50
Revision 14.093

From PMDF:

Dump file is --> Internal revision 14.093_W4 (system dump)

The combination of bldlevel and the Mark I Eyeball should give you what
you want. Strip out the #@:

[H:\]BLDLEVEL G:\OS2KRNL
