Hello.

I thank you for adding support to DosEmu so VFW runs movies in 16 bit color!

Yes, Windows support is maturing and doing swell. There are already the VESA drivers (created by Japheth) that will soon be able to replace the Trident ones, so that you can use Windows in hi color modes also under console. Also the VxD loader is under development now - if this works, the compatibility level will burst.

I'll try to refrain from posting YAP (yet another picture) showing Gulliver's Travels in full color. :)

Why not? The gallery have to be updated:

Every new achievement deserves being screenshooted. But there is a limit of 6 screenshots, thats the problem.

P.S. I'm now using Netscape 4.0.8, too! ;)

Have you tried IE 5.5? AFAIK the win16 port exists, although I don't have one. Would be interesting to test that.

With the latest CVS, I've noticed that DosEmu seems to be killing the TAP connection to eth0.

You should be more specific. "connection" between tapX and eth0 is maintained by kernel so it is not easy for dosemu to kill it. Make sure the route to tapX device exist in your routing table. Mine looks like this:
---

$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.254.254.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 tap0
...

Make sure the IP forwarding is enabled.
