I tried it under the experimental, 2.2 version and it didn't work because it is a dos4gw, 32-bit thing. (Probably had no hope: I've since discovered that it doesn't work under Windows 3.11 or '95 either.) Now I don't know whether the 3.0 doscmd could handle it better or at all, but today I tried the -NT version under Wine, and I appear to have been completely successful. There are obviously cases where DOS is the only option, but this is the second thing that I expected to need a dos emulator for, and didn't. (The other was the PIC microcontroller assembler: it also has a straight Windows version that worked OK in Wine.) On 2 Oct, Jonathan Lemon wrote: > Yes, there is a better one in -current.
