I agree with Jim: VMware is better for some things: it is more compatible and AFAIK *everything* works, but: 1) graphic screen in DOS is slow 2) C: is an image 3) other drives can only be networked
Dosemu has advantages: 1) Graphics are very fast in DOS (it ises a different approach to the problem) 2) C: is a normal directory (I can edit autoexec.bat in kwrite and reboot) 3) any letter can be attributed to any directory and will be transparent 4) network with packet driver is native and very efficient, 5) keyboard and mouse integration is better (IMHO) 5) it boots fast (just a small program to run, not noticeable) Alain Jim Hall escreveu: > Wow.
