Why not just run... What's that DOS program that fakes out apps to make
them think they are running on another version of DOS? I'm drawing a blank
here, but I did use it one time to make Windows 2.03 think it was running
under DOS 3.3 when it was actually running on DOS 6.0. Worked great. The
command is documented in the DOS help file, 5.0 and up, IIRC.
