When I type VER in DOS, I get:
Windows 95 [4.00.950]

Which is my windows 95 version. I have been looking all over the internet for the file conagent.exe so that I can access windows programs in a DOS box. I dont wish to replace my whole OS! I have another computer with win95B and tried to use conagent from that version and what I get is an "Incorrect Dos version" message instead.

So where can I get CONAGENT.EXE?

Information gleaned from the net:

"conagent.exe is a system executable, not intended for any outside use.
It deals with console communications between Windows 9x and programs
running in MSDOS sessions."

"It's one of the files included withthe Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Supplement on the Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.1 and 2.5 CD-ROM."

Your version does not have USB support and the files are not available for OEM installations. The recommendation, of course, is to upgrade to W98.

I managed to have 32-bit support long before but I realize that conagwnt.exe is required to access windows programs from a dos box.
