Hi Friends and Users of DOSEMU,
Finaly, after 8 years of development, we decided to give our baby the
freedom to call itself 'production ready'. We could not realize all our
wishes, but the stuff which is in should be as stable as it can be with
DOS in the background :-)
Thanks to all people involved, those still active as well as those
formerly active ones ;-) Special thanks to all the former co-ordinators
who 'governed' the development team befor me:
- Matthias Lautner, started the DOSEMU project 1992
- Robert Sanders, took over government 1993
- James B. MacLean, who was the longest staying on
this project: 1994 .. 1996
Since 1997 being the co-ordinator of this exiting project, I'm very happy
that it finally reaches its aim.
dosemu-1.0.0 is uploaded to the usual place:
ftp.dosemu.org:/dosemu/
.../Development/patchset-0.99.14.tgz
.../patchset-1.0.0.tgz
.../dosemu-1.0.0.tgz
.../dosemu-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
In the meantime it got mirrored and also is available on:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/emulators/dosemu/*
The md5sums are:
17b8ce057b257b0c1e287a2fbfdbb451 patchset-0.99.14.tgz
3d25264f530fb67f1e2af58b62d8e621 patchset-1.0.0.tgz
f6b4338aeddc75845c68baf509fd0261 dosemu-1.0.0.tgz
9d3f39f8424130d1c65d563956188423 dosemu-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Note that 1.0.0 was built out of 0.99.13 ==> 0.99.14 and that 0.99.14
is the 'fork point' which will continue unchanged as 1.1.x.
1.0.0 is identical to 0.99.14 except it has no cpu-emu.
A final remark: For those compiling dosemu themselves with some (latest?)
glibc-2.1.3 variants, it maybe necessary to set 'slangforce off' in
./compiletime-settings to use their own Slang library, else linkage may
fail. Though I got report of this problem, I can't reproduce it. The
system on which I checked the compilation with gcc-2.95.2/glibc-2.1.3 had
no problems at all.
Have a lot of fun,
Hans
