Basically agreed.
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.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
