Great stuff, now I can throw a DOS box away (well, turn it into a firewall or something:). Here's the app compiled and zipped this morning under DOSEMU: ====================================================================== C:\SOS>pu -v sosppx4 PKUNZIP (R) FAST!

There's something different about the memory allocation under DOSEMU. For the first pass of the Zortech C++ compiler to run without a stack fault when running under DOSEMU, I had to add a command line parameter to increase the default stack size (16384 bytes) substantially. Using 34148 bytes was enough, 34146 bytes wasn't. Never had to do that under the same version of DOS (6.22) running natively. This seems to me to be a surprisingly big difference and I wonder if it means something to you. If you want more information can investigate more easily when I'm back in England where the DOS box is. At present I'm doing all this remotely from France (which is why I'm doing it at all:) and I can't talk to it. 2. I gave you the full output of the pkunzip command above to show that it says "80486 CPU detected" when in fact it's running on a 686 with the dosemu.conf '$_cpu' variable set to "80586". I don't know whether pkunzip 2.04g is capable of recognizing a 586 so it might mean nothing. If there's anything else you'd like me to try out on dosemu 1.3.0.0 while I have it running on Athlon/VIA/kernel 2.6.0 please let me know.
