Hello.

it builds fine but when I run dosemu, it just exits with no error log...

The log is usually in ~/.dosemu/boot.log. Please double-check that it is not there. If it is really missing, try running dosemu -D9+a -o /tmp/log
and maybe then it will create the /tmp/log.

Made a clean new make for the 4th time:

Had made (2) 2.95.3 builds (with and without strip) on one host and made (1) 3.3.4 build on another host, they all FAILED to start on configurations that had been running with 1.3.1.

Well made one more try w/2.95.3 and guess what, it now runs !!! ??? I think the problem was with /etc/dosemu.conf, in the past it had a line:

$_vnet = (off)

which was tolerated in previous versions < 1.3.2, with a msg:
ERROR: Unknown vnet mode "0"

But dosemu.bin would run!
Enable that line and dosemu.bin (1.3.2) does not run and no output to boot.log either.

One NOTE: I run Ziff Communications config.ctl to allow me to edit config.sys at start-up and my hdimage is an msdos 5.0 image:
if I use the /usr/bin/dosemu from 1.2.0 then the <F1> <F2> and <arrows> work fine, for config.sys editing.
if I use the new /usr/bin/dosemu from 1.3.2 they do not work at all.
