I have to ask: how is it possible that with an application which is a decade old, I could have down loaded and installed a very out of date version, just 2 weeks ago ? My log shows:- http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/mirrors.txt The following sites are known to mirror ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/emulators/dosemu/ US ...snip several .. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.dosemu.org/ DE This site in return is mirrored by (atleast): ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.dosemu.org/ DE This site in return is mirrored by (atleast): ftp://ftp.fh-koeln.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.dosemu.org/ DE ...

I've just wasted further resources navigating: ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/emulators/dosemu/ withgout finding the recommended version. Perhaps someone can direct me to the URL of the *1.1.99.1*tgz ? Please.
