Fun with Dosemu -- 9:45 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Since my kids' Win98 box is getting wonky, I'm working on ridding myself of anything having to do with Windows. Towards that end, I had to get Dosemu running. Yes, I still have a couple of DOS programs I still use. One worked fine using a Slackware 10.1 package, the other didn't. After lots of trial and error, I determined that the version of FreeDOS that comes with Dosemu doesn't like that program for one reason or the other. After I copied over command.com, msdos.sys, and io.sys from the Win98 installation and used that instead, the program runs fine. I'm hoping that when FreeDOS 1.0 actually comes out that it will work with this program since FreeDOS has a lot of cool, BASH-like features.
