It builds trivially under 2.1 (haven't tried on -current, expect it will there too) with an include fix, but it's a bit limited functionality-wise. It's also dog-slow, even compared to PCemu. What we _need_ is for the kernel vm86 stuff to happen so that DOScmd can go ahead; this is basically predicated on Sean having the time to do it, as none of the other x86 gurus seemed interested in helping us deal with the problem we hit last time. The emulation code in DOScmd is actually pretty good, and having brutally cleaned it, it's _much_ easier to read and work on than the Linux dosemu code. Once _that_ works, we can do some _serious_ DOS emulation. > eric. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
