Sorry, that makes three questions :). Maybe we should wait for some more feedback first before posting anything (I hope I'm not erring too much on the side of caution).

IIRC, it truly emulates DOS, which means you can pretty much run it anywhere - there's even windoze binaries, but it means it's quite slower than dosemu-stable. From their October 15th news article at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 "the current cpu emulation speed probably won't let you run them at decent speeds" On the positive side, it's great for Adlib! Dark Ages works, albeitly a bit slower, and I've heard that MIDI might be just a tad easier to configure (that might help my Warcraft II).

Hopefully this being "hot off the presses" means that all of the useful patches of 2003 have been included. > But anyway, I digress; if you do have a club membership, you can browse > the Club rpm base and check contribs for the dosemu version.
