Hello,

  I have just gotten 99.8 working for the first time.  I've tried to get
Dosemu running for over six months and boy am I ecstatic!  I used the Tcl
script under X and modified the dosemu.conf by hand to get it going.

  The only problem I have is with the path.  My dosemu.conf is below.
It seems that my system only wants to boot with the standard "Winblows"
autoexec.bat and conf.sys files.  I stick in other designations there and
get locked-up.  Oh, when dosemu boots, it apparently tries to boot Winblows
and then gives me a C:\ prompt.  Thank God!  Here is the dosemu.conf file.
Is there anything I can do to clean it up?  I am running a FIC-503+ with
256mb of memory.  (The GIMP runs fast. :) With a Winblows /hdaX drive and Linux
residing on its' own drive /hdc.  I use loadlin to boot.  Anyways here is the
file.  I'll stick some comments off to the right side in quotes "".

  If I stick autoexec.dos and config.dos files up above, the machine locks up
as it tries to load native DOS drivers.  The only thing I have left to
achieve is to get the system to recognize a path to my rudimentary DOS
programs I desire to run.  Yes I know I have to unmount all of the Linux
mounted dos drives before I run Dosemu but I have automated that.

  For the time being, I am going to write some batfiles and use them to
get to the programs I need.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Oh I
forgot to mention that with the above config files, Dosemu boots to my
native Dos 6.22.

                                Best regards,
                                Kurt Savegnago
