DOSemu developers,
Earlier, I reported that Phar Lap's DOSXNT.EXE won't
work with DOSemu > 0.66.7. The solution is to enable DPMI
in dosemu.conf.
I also wrote a patch to report the century (19h or 20h)
when CMOS byte 50 is read. Some stupid applications report
the year as "0099" without this patch.
With DOSemu 0.98 or 0.99 on a Linux 2.2 kernel, Micro-
soft LINK 5.01.20 cannot write to a file. I tracked down
the following report, which describes the problem better
than I can:
http://www.penguin.cz/~stano/en/dosemu-0.98.4-denyany.html
His patch works for me.
Also, I like how 0.99.11 lets me use a regular UNIX
directory as my C: drive. Quite a useful feature.
These patches may be applied to either 0.98.6 or 0.99.11:
