I wonder why it's not working for you two. dosemu and xdosemu create files
~/.dosemu/stamp-[x]dosemu the first time which prevent the splash message
being shown for all subsequent DOSEMU runs. At least, they do for me.
Have a look at `which dosemu`. There should be lines such as
if [ -z "$QUIET" -a ! -f $HOME/.dosemu/stamp-xdosemu ]; then

dosemu [-E] dos-command; see "man dosemu.bin" or the example in "man
dosemu". Alternatively use -input

-U is a programmer's tool; not so much a user's tool
" This option should therefor only used by frontends (such as kdos),
which first create the proper named pipes and then launch DOSEMU."
"A tiny control terminal, which can serve as example, is the supplied
dosctrl programm."
Well kdos (KDE DOSEMU) never really became something I guess, but
dosctrl
dosctrl is in src/tools/periph
so this works
$ cd src/tools/periph
$ mkfifo fdin fdout
$ xdosemu -Ufdin:fdout &
$ ./dosctrl fdin fdout
