I've had success hacking programs like more.com to run under
different DOS versions. It's an easy hack. A call to DOS services,
Int 21?, with a particular value in AL/AH and then a return with
the major version/minor version in hex and reverse byte order.
I'm NOT a programmer, but even I could handle THAT assembly
language hack with debug! The code is often near the end
of the file.

But I dunno what to expect from OS/2 as a return?
Anybody?

But who cares anyway. Patch it to accept anything!
