A book I read a while back (pre-2.0) said that in a dos compatability box,
querying the dos version will return 10*the os2 version.  OS 1.2 returned
dos version 12, os2 2.0 returns dos 20, and so on.

A few programs I have (including Quarterdeck's Manifest) return Dos v20.0
in a dos window, so I believe it still works.
