- I think there's a slight confusion here.
-
- The genuine MSCDEX.EXE that comes with Win95 to support MS-DOS mode (and
- CD-ROMS that don't have 32-bit drivers) is version 2.25 and works with
- Executor (at least it does on my work machine). The 32-bit CDFS,
- however, which pretends to be MSCDEX (and doesn't work with Executor in
- general), claims to be MSCDEX version 2.95. The latest MSCDEX that
- shipped with any version of DOS 6.x, AFAIK, was 2.23 (no, I don't know
- what's the difference between 2.23 and 2.25, apart from 0.02 :-) ).
-
- Hope this clarifies matters somewhat.
