Hi there,
  Did you try dosemu2, it's where current development activity is happening? If 
there are still 64bit problems with that then raising an issue on github will 
likely get them fixed.

https://github.com/stsp/dosemu2

If you need deb packages there's also a PPA I made of the current devel branch 
with daily builds.

https://code.launchpad.net/~dosemu2/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Re: Dosemu on 64 bit architectures

I have been in this position for many years; a Dos Cadd program
I depend on will not run properly on Dosemu under 64-bit
linux, but runs fine on 32-bit systems. So I just use a 32-bit
virtual Ubuntu machine (I use VMware player). Works fine. I would
be happy to send you a copy of the VM if you would like.

thanks

I'm moving to a 64-bit system (Debian stable). The Dosemu website
speaks about 64-bit ports since at least V 1.4.X, I have downloaded those
binaries (with instructions that make no mention of any special 64-bit
considerations or issues), but have been unable to get them to work and
I wonder if they are 64-bit aware, It is also notable that debian currently
does not seem to offer a dosemu package.

Am I on the wrong track? There was talk of a V2 in about 2013. Was that a
fork, and should I be using it perhaps? Yet the original dosemu site
persists, still with 2007 information, and no indication that it is not still
relevant. All of this makes me wonder if this (sadly) is a dead end.

To cut to the chase: what do I need to do to run dosemu on a 64 bit OS,
as promised? where is the software, and where is it documented? Any
help or pointers (or critiques) would be  much appreciated.

Thanks!
