I've wanted to get into the kernel source, and figured that the vm86 emulation was as good of a place to start as any. So after a crash course on Intel architecture, and some mucking with the vm86 patches, I have doscmd running on a -current system. Running in this case being that I can run all the executables in testbin, as well as booting Dos 5.0, and running the instbsdi.exe binary, etc). I have no other Dos programs to run, simply because I don't own any DOS programs other than Dos5.0 and whatever install/support programs that came with the various hardware I've bought. I was looking at fixing the vm86 exit point from the kernel, as well as possibly adding in VME/VIF/VIP support, if I can figure out how. My question is what advantage does doscmd have over linux's dosemu? IE: why not just use dosemu, with the appropriate BSD kernel support? (And yes, I'm completely ignorant of intel architecture up until about a week ago.) -- Jonathan
