	Maybe I am off the track on this, but have you thought about using
the DOS loadseg() command. I am not sure how to use it (never have myself)
but if you have the different versions of the code in seperate code segments
then you could select which one you want and then use loadseg() to bring it 
into memory and there would be no need for any self modifying anything.

Just a suggestion.
