A few problems i've been noticing so far: . The emulator shouldn't say goodbye if it enters an unknown instruction -- a real 8086 also continued to work in this case. The point is that some programs tend to execute known-to-be-286 instr's to see which CPU they run on. . A few 8086 instr's are missing (for no good reason, e.g. DAS). . The keymap handling (deducing the scan code from what XLookupString() reports) is bogus. The bogosity becomes already apparent when looking at the workarounds he hooked into the source for the UK keyboard, but considering things like a german or more weird keyboard, another customization method is needed. I've created something that allows a keystring -> scancode mapping out of the .pcemurc file. For all the above, i will yet have to contact the original author though. -- cheers, J"org work: --- no longer --- private: joerg_wunsch@uriah.sax.de Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
