Ok, this has nothing to do with Wolf3d but since you're talking about
patching the OS now ;). FWIW, the one time I ran Wolf3d it exited fine
on my ROM 01.

I was looking at the code for the Font Manager (I want >255 pt fonts,
dangit) and saw that they patch out the code for quite a few functions
rather than implement them in a new version of the tool. Is there some
rational explanation for this, or was it just easier to do?
