Jim, Cheryl Homiak came up with the solution to my problem. I changed /etc/fstab as she suggested and also the directory to which I was mounting my Windows partition. Now dosemu is working fine. If you didn't get her message, let me know, and I'll forward it. Having dos in a multitasking environment is a real plus. It also responds much faster than it does under Windows. Now if we could just get the control keys to work! John On Wed, 3 Apr 2002, Jim Hartley wrote:
