Hi,

This is probably a stupid question, but it quite unclear to me how 
dosemu works.

I downloaded the source files of DOSemu 1.3.5, compiled it, but was 
unable to run it:

 > mateusz@mateusz:~/Downloads/dosemu-1.3.5/bin> ./dosemu

 > Segmentation fault
 > mateusz@mateusz:~/Downloads/dosemu-1.3.5/bin>

What's the difference between 'dosemu' and 'dosemu.bin' ?

I know that I should install it, but the thing is I already have a 
DOSemu installed on my system (via packages of my distro), and I'd 
really like to avoid messing it up, and keep a parallel version for 
devel stuff... is it possible somehow?

Also, I am quite confused about the fact that the 'stable' release 
displayed on dosemu.org is 1.4.0, while the supposedly 'bleeding edge 
developer release' is 1.3.5... what am I missing ?
I see that the versino I pulled via git is the 1.4.0.8 - so I suppose 
that I should use this instead of the 'devel' version downloaded from 
the website?

best regards,
Mateusz
