I am not a programmer per se so please excuse any ignorance...
Can you access DOS memory variables?  The shareware program config.exe
can be used to set several DOS variables which includes login name,
dos version, etc.  I believe this can also be done through the system login
script ("dos set name %login_name" or something like that).
