FreeDOS 1.2 - Hackdot

Bugger.

The program tries to verify the integrity of MSDOS.SYS and VER.EXE with some sort of weak hash, as well as get the result of VER.

FreeDOS's VERSION gets me halfway though, now just to generate some dummy files when I work out the right hashing algo to use...

Thanks for the update! What about just copying those files over from MS-DOS?

Unfortunately that's not working right now... Guessing it does something else hacky to check that it truly is running on MSDOS and Win 3.1.

But it is on my list to investigate when I'm back to work.
