OK.. used the new dosemu.conf (everything commented out), set
hdimage to "dos" to make it boot on my system, then only changed
hogthreshold. Tried it (1.1.3.9) with

hogthreshold = 0                      --- 99 % CPU
hogthreshold = 1                      --- quiet behaviour
hogthreshold = 800                    --- 99 % CPU
hogthreshold commented out altogether --- quiet behaviour

Mmm.. not very intuitive, this. Somewhere in the DOC's it
says that hogthreshold should be related to the clock speed, and
the higher hogthreshold, the quieter dosemu gets. Anyway, you know
what I think about the dosemu doc's.

With all these values of hogthreshold Wolfenstein 3D hangs (it
keeps saying "one moment" forever). This is with everything
commented out apart from hdimage and hogthreshold.

Now I uncomment sound, and set it to 0. Now it works with
hogthreshold values 0, 1, 800, and commented out altogether.

This suggests that sound (on) is the default (as you surely
intended). OK, now trying Nukem 3D (*everything* commented out now
apart from hdimage). Use Duke3d "setup" program (in dosemu) to
select the Sound Blaster card for sound, nothing for music. Run
duke3d. Result: sound, demo visible and audible, when I want to
play it hangs when I choose the difficulty level.

Well of course I did. The patch set posted yesterday by Bart
Oldeman. Or isn't that what you mean? Anyway I get a boot-up
message which begins

Linux DOS emulator 1.1.3.9 $Date: 2002/12/15 $

Extra info: I use ms-dos 6.00. Maybe that's relevant.

Regards, Jan
