Since 4) mkdir dosemu; and 6) tar -xzf ... makes a further dosemu,
my dosemu.bin is at: /home/crg/dosemu/dosemu/bin/ =
$HOME/dosemu/dosemu/bin/

What does this mean ?
I just copy my dos-application to .../freedos/tmp/
Is this freedos "synthetic mode" ?

How do you 'start it' ?
I chose to ./dos - which links to the executable dosemu/bin/dosemu.bin
which reports that my libc.so.6 lacks the needed LIBC_2.2, which is true.
As previously reported I'm using RH 6.2
With everything else being 'so alpha', I have no intention of getting
LIBC_2.2.
Apparently it is possible to drive par-port(s) from Ver 1.0.2 ?
