DOS ain't dead

new HACKWRAP fix for MS-DOS7+, aka smashing the bug (Miscellaneous)

Sounds like a neat kernel code hack. How do you find the DOS code segment? How do you locate the instruction that has to be patched?

If you release the program (hopefully generally including the source), could you document the DOS data segment items that you found to be used by MS-DOS? I'm just interested.
