You could start by exploring the various debug log options (-D+?) described in the man page. For a brute force approach you can use -D+a but that will typically produce a huge output. -o /tmp/mylog will send it to a log that you can post here. You could also try logging with the old DOSEMU version, both when the application works, and when it does not. Try to see if anything different happens in either case. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
