Yes, I see that it does. However, using the os2k386 in place of dosx in the install files seems to cause dosemu to have some filesystem-related problems. The first error is that it is "unable to update registration info", and then when going to file copy, there are lots of "Write error: FOO.BAR The file is write protected.

To do that, one would need a working installation, which you have and I do not. :) -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis at icequake.net>, icq=10317253 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
