Referencing my post of a few days ago, shown below, I have run dosdebug with it. The primary result that I get is that:
a. When I don't run it with dosdebug, dosemu usually hangs before it finishes its startup (maybe 1 out of 10 or 15 times it will start and run correctly). b. When I do run it with dosdebug, and simply issue a 'g' and let it go, dosemu runs fine all the time. So the presence of the debugger is affecting the hang. This is making me think "pointer error" somewhere, but I couldn't even begin to guess how to proceed.
