An additional piece of information can also be
obtained by using the [AY] pointer returned by
the enhanced DOS. That is the version number of
the enhancements applied to the DOS in use. It
is stored as a word at location [AY]+$1C and
[AY]$ iD, low byte first, high byte last. The
version is kept in binary coded decimal (BCD) in
which the hexadecimal digits $WXYZ would repre-
sent the version number WX.YZ. The low byte (YZ)
is the minor revision number, and the high byte
(WX) is the major revision number.
