NAME
     ver - change the version of shell commands

SYNOPSIS
     ver
     ver systype
     ver systype command

DESCRIPTION
     ver changes, temporarily or permanently, the UNIX version of commands
     that are executed by the shell.  The command also displays the version in
     use.

     The first form of the command (without arguments) displays the current
     value of the systype variable, which specifies the UNIX version of
     commands being executed by the shell.  The second form allows you to set
     the UNIX version to the specified systype.  Valid systype values are
     sys5.3 and bsd4.3.

     The third form of the command causes the UNIX version of command
     specified by systype to be executed, with no permanent change to
     systype's value.

FILES
     /etc/ver       used for the third form of the command
