To clarify: it cured the problem with pushover. Or should i say, it circumvented the problem caused by exepack? Nevertheless, that has nothing to do with dosemu. It was a problem with some versions of MSDOS. IIRC, in any case, i got the 'corrupted file' message, i could run 'loadfix programm' and the problem went away. Of course, i had only tested a few of such programms, and there may be other programms without hope. Can we agree, that there are cases, in which loadfix will work? cu -- hafi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
