Since when is there a Linux version of QemuLator?
There isn't: what I meant was it works with Wine, unlike QPC.

Thanks Derek, for the menu_rext extensions.
I've just installed them and I have progress: instead of the error

there is *no* menu_rext. More to the point, the boot supplied does not

have! Is DIR_SELECT$ really part of menu_rext?
So the problem remains: why does
