For obscure reasons, I need to run GRAPHICS.COM under DOS 3.3 (to get
VGA screen dumps).  Unfortunately it gives me the message:
 
    Incorrect DOS Version

when I run it under DOS 3.3. I just tried tracing through the binary,
made one obvious change, one less obvious change, but it still would't
work.

Any patches out there?
