SUMMARY
When WINVER.EXE is executed from within Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11, it reports "386 Enhanced Mode Windows Version 3.10," but when executed from an MS-DOS Prompt or outside of Windows, it reports "Windows for Workgroups Version 3.11."



MORE INFORMATION
When executed from within Windows, WINVER.EXE does a "GetVersion" API call, which returns version 3.10 from the kernel. The version that the kernel reports was not changed for this version of Windows for Workgroups.
