Mark,

OpenDOS 7.01 uses the environment variable OPENDOSCFG to point to the
directory where OPENDOS.INI resides.

DR-DOS 7.02 uses DRDOSCFG to point to where DRDOS.INI resides. 

Novell DOS 7 uses NWDOSCFG to point to where NWDOS.INI resides.

The environment variable OS= gives the name of the OS and VER= gives the
version.

OpenDOS 7.01 sets OS=OPENDOS and VER=7
DR-DOS 7.02 sets OS=DRDOS and VER=7
Novell DOS 7 sets OS=NWDOS and VER=7

Hope this helps

Roger
