IBM OS/2 Warp: (also works with OS/2 2.x - untested with 1.30 Extended Edition) 1. Open the install (disk 0) img dump and drag the os2krnli file to the desktop. 2. Open os2krnli with notepad (or textedit if on a mac). 3. Do a search for "Internal revision". Next to that phrase is the revision/build number.

Favourite OS OS/2 Wrp 3.0
Most of the recent (ie 2.1 and later) OS/2 versions give the build on ver /r at the command prompt.
Note the cmd line for vers a.b gives 2.ab.1234 where 1234 is the OS level.
Take command/os2 gives OS/2 Warp Connect as 3.1, and since there is an OS/2 Warp, i use 3.1 to refer to the latter build.
Regarding DOS.
MS-DOS generally returns the value from the interrupt, as jj.mm (major-minor). Some exceptions apply
msdos 6.21 returns jj.21 msdos 7.xx and later return a string embedded in command.com, eg 4.10.2222. You can edit this yourself. ntdos returns jj.mm.500, where jj.mm is the underlying DOS version.
PC-DOS from 6.0 returns a string embedded in command.com. os2 dos returns 2.jm but answers to 20.jm to a DOSVER interrupt test.
You are better to run some third-party utility that intercepts the underlying interrupts, rather than reading command.com.
Winver returns a windows version, as does shell.dll (eg notepad -> help|about ). I've seen non-released versions here, eg WinOS2 3.11 (ie from the winos2 shell.dll running on top of windows 3.11).

MS-DOS and PC-DOS. xx.yy
"ver" generally returns the dos version. Some differences are known.
DOS 4.01 returns xx.(yy+1) MS-DOS 6.21 returns xx.21 WinNT DOS returns xx.yy.500 (where xx.yy is typically 5.50)
PC-DOS 6.x and later returns a string embedded in COMMAND.COM DOS95 returns a string embedded late in COMMAND.COM
These dos versions differ from the box-name. Command,com reports the version from a string in the exe file. DOS 4.01 is actually 4.00 PC-DOS 6.10 is actually 6.00 MS-DOS 6.21 is actually 6.00 OS/2 DOS reports 20.xy where x.y is the OS/2 version. vers 1.x reports 10.xy. DR-DOS returns the emulated DOS, but this is the default OSVER variable. Internally it uses a different build number.

It does work with OS/2 1.3x, however, the build number sequence is a bit odd.
For 1.30.x the build numbers seem to be 7.2xx
For 2.xx the build numbers seem to be 6.3xx
For 3.x the build numbers seem to be 8.xxx
There is no internal revision comment in OS/2 1.1x or OS/2 1.2x.
