CWS (of CWSDPMI) recently mentioned using some self-executing ASCII in his configure.com for VMS (now renamed to configure.vms). With help from this thread (esp. the table made by windwakr), I hacked this up (purely 7-bit):

EDIT: Now with source (if you didn't feel like disassembling it)!

Code:

; hY1X-00P[h:!_)?)?CC)?)?h]1X-00PZh09X-00AdAc!DOS is not VMS!$

; CRC32 (w/ CR+LF):  836E89E7
; using FASM from http://board.flatassembler.net
; rugxulo _AT_ gmail _DOT_ com
; public domain, nenies proprajxo, Christus Rex!

; cpu 186
org 100h
magic equ ':!'

;and al,20h        ; dw '$ '
cmp sp,[bx+si]     ; dw '; '
push doscall+'00'

push '09'
pop ax
sub ax,'00'
doscall dw (021CDh+magic*2) and 0FFFFh, (020CDh+magic*2) and 0FFFFh
msg db '!DOS is not VMS!'
msg_end db '$'     ; do not change!
linefeed db 13,10  ; to please nitpicky text editors

Instead of adding 100h to the offset of .msg, you can just ORG 100h and the corrections will be made.
