Instead of looking for a fix to setdrive, just use the "SETVER" utility that
comes with DOS 5.  You load it in CONFIG.SYS and it tells certain programs
that you're running other versions of DOS.  Full details in the manual.

Format:  SETVER [drive:path] filename n.nn

where drive:path is the optional location of SETVER, filename is the program
you want to trick and n.nn is the version you want to tell it.

Use SETVER setdrive 3.20 and you should have no problem.
