Either hardcode a string (ECHO Welcome to FreeDOS 1.1) to Autoexec.bat, and/or: expand the VER command in FreeCOM to show "if kernel versionX and Freecom version Y then "print FreeDOS 1.1". Additionally, VER can be expanded to handle old kernels for example (FreeDOS 0.xx - please upgrade to 1.1 or later).
an FDVER.BAT could also be an option indeed. I've still got batchfile code lying around for self-updating bootdisk image based on 1.0..too bad there's no actual working CDRECORD or WODIM port for DOS (with DVD writing support, that is..) Michael Kostylev had one (i386-msdos-djgpp), but it didn't allow my optical drive, and his page (or the content) seem to have disappeared. [ http://mik.dyndns.org/dos-stuff ].
