yes. its main job is to parse dosemu.conf. However every once in a while we encounter situations that are impossible to configure with dosemu.conf. > B.

These files can also live in /etc/dosemu. dosemu.users is optional. Only if certain users are allowed to use direct hardware i/o ($_ports and so on) through a suid-root dosemu.bin or dosemu -s with sudo, you'll need to edit it. As far as such access is concerned, only console graphics works with a privileged dosemu by default. dosemu.conf lives in the same directory as dosemu.users. > 3. ~/.dosemurc is used for users who want to set up their own special > settings - correct? yes. Just like /etc/profile vs. /etc/.profile. Some settings in .dosemurc are ignored for security reasons.
