Hello,
I'm very glad to have installed the last dosemu in my system (OpenSuSE 10.3).
With it, I was able to install Win 3.1 straightforward from archive, without any kind of MS-DOS installation (I just mounted the archive as A: with lredir, and launched setup.exe, everything worked even SVGA resolution at 800x600). And I was able to install dBase 5.0 for Windows, straightforward also. That program doesn't work under Wine since it uses INT 31 interrupt.
I just noticed a bug : when Win 3.1 starts, I get two competing mouse cursors. So I've to type Ctrl-Alt-Home twice in order to obtain a more sensible, although not perfect, situation.
