A long time ago, PC Magazine provided instructions for identifying the
dos version ident string built into dos .com programs.  Specifically,
they noted that then this ident string was removed from graphics.com
for version 4 dos, it could happily be used with say version 3.3 to
do ega screen dumps.  I of course can't seem to locate the article
anymore, and am just too cheap to call compuserv.  Does aybody else
remember or have a specific reference ?
