How to tell which dosemu version I have?

How to tell which dosemu version I have?

I _believe_ my version used to be 1.3.3.

For my new install of Kubuntu Feisty first copied over the old ~/.dosemu 
and then used apt-get dosemu
to install it.

aptitude -vv show dosemu
reports version 1.2.2.8

Is there any way to interregate dosemu itself to get it's version number?

Thanks, Larry

When I start up, I see the version number displayed.

Try this from command line:

C:> echo %DOSEMU_VERSION%

Thanks very much Mike.  The echo statement worked and I have logged it 
into my dosemu.nfo file.  It's good information.

echo %DOSEMU_VERSION% reported 1.3.3.0 but that doesn't square with the 
fact that I used apt-get to load 1.2.2.8.

Any idea which file the version number comes from?

You may have two dosemu's (and dosemu.bin's) installed, one, 1.2.2-8,
in /usr/bin and the other one, 1.3.3, in /usr/local/bin, and
/usr/local/bin comes first in your $PATH.

Bart you are absolutely right - there were two dosemu.bin's.

I've moved the files in /usr/local/bin to /usr/local/bin/old because 
they wouldn't start dosemu.

The grep 1.2 /usr/bin/dosemu.bin produces several hits of visible 1.2 in 
the text portions (I realize . matches any character)
and grep 1.3 produces no hits.

So I indeed have 1.2.2.8 which is what apt-get reported.

Whenever 1.4 comes out in a deb file I'll try that but for now I'm 
pretty happy.

I regularly run a number of DOS programs - Supercalc (spreadsheet), 
Wordstar and Q&A.  I especially use a lot of SC because my fingers know 
what to do without thought!

Thanks toboth of you for helping.

grep [.]

does not match any character.

If you want to know what you are actually executing, try

which command_name

On my system, I get

$ which dosemu
/usr/local/bin/dosemu
