I guess I should say 'in Dosemu'. > > I suspect the later in which case, that will probably because your machine is > too fast!

The application was working on this old 486, 50 MHz system in MS-DOS 6.22. I decided to add Linux and make that the controlling OS. So I added a second hard drive and loaded the Linux. So I use Dosemu to gain access to all of the original applications on the original drive. The application that fails needs to read from the hardware port address of 0x300. So my next step was to add in the enabling of that port address. But first I wanted to put the lredir into the autoexec.bat for Dosemu. But I found that the Edit (0.4) for Freedos did not work correctly. Is there a way to upgrade the Freedos portion of Dosemu without upgrading the Dosemu also?
