Hello.

Has anyone got Win32s working under dosemu?

Unfortunately, no.
The win32s support in dosemu is still disabled - noone got around to get it to work yet.
However, Borland C++ 4.5 AFAIK has also the text-mode tools that use 32rtm. These can work under dosemu. The GUI tools can not (yet).

What versions of dosemu/windows/os2/ms-dos/win32s do I need?

Some future versions of dosemu, I am afraid.
Feel free to open the RFE on the dosemu tracker to make sure the win32s support won't be forgotten again.
If you have any documentation on the w32s.386 interfaces - that will help.

Also see this win32 emulator:

It can work under dosemu and maybe it will help you, although this is unlikely.

Hmm . . . if I can run the command line utilities, maybe I can make an autoexec.bat which compiles my project and then quits dosemu. Then I could hook that into M-x compile in Emacs.

I have filed the RFE. Unfortunately I don't have any such documentation.
