You can change the programs that STARS.EXE runs if you have an editor such
as the Norton Utilities; the names in the menu and the associated commands
are ASCII text in the program.  However, the replacement commands must be
the same length...

And STARS is NOT a Wi2 program; if you try to load it in Real mode it pops
up a dialog box saying "Requires Standard or Enhanced mode to run".
