Q1: I've had experience with dosemu, but not the latest version. I followed your link and downloaded it because I am very interested in this. With this version, I hope they have included all the other patches that have made dosemu useful for some time, but for some reason have continued to make the users download and install themselves instead of integrating them into the main tree. This has been a source of frustration. Q2: There is a version of dosemu on the Mandrake Club rpm download area, and I believe it is regularly petitioned to be packaged into a club rpm by the contributors. However I don't know if this particular version of Dosemu has been packaged as rpm. There are alot of packages on Mandrake Club that are not shown on rpmfind.net; this makes Mandrake Club a value added service. But anyway, I digress; if you do have a club membership, you can browse the Club rpm base and check contribs for the dosemu version. I would do it myself, but Christmas has made me a little late for renewing my membership. :( LX -- ������������������������������������������������� Linux Mandrake 9.1 Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk "Howard Dean is convincing evidence that the Lord supports George W.
