Changes between 1.01 and 1.02
Hi,
until now I'm using SuSE 7.2 and dosemu 1.0.1 which was shipped with SuSE 7.2. Now I examined the dosemu 1.0.3 shipped with SuSE 7.3 and found several differences between both packages.
A lot of file names have changed: f. e. dos to dosemu and so on.
The /etc/dosemu.users isn't there anymore.
I'm using symlinks c/d pointing to mounted real dos drives in /var/lib/dosemu in dosemu 1.0.1. Has this possibility gone in 1.0.2?
Can someone tell me if an update to 1.0.2 could solve the problems running dpmi software like dbase IV. Is there a significant better serial code which was not working as good as it is wished when running dos fido mailers.

1.0.3?
You must have a very new version...

dosemu is now designed to be run for each individual user.

Officially /var/lib/dosemu has gone.
Try putting them in your home directory.
But if you copy dosemu.bin to /usr/bin/dos, you can just run dos and it will act like it use to with global paths.

http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/~stas is a good place to look.

For the benefit of new arrivals to dosemu with limited computing <knowledge | skills>, is there anywhere that this advice is presented less cryptically?
The advice has the appearance of being the answers that I was looking for (DOS programs that cannot find the correct path for their subroutines) - if I understood what it said.

works if you "cp dosemu.bin /usr/bin/dos" and run /usr/bin/dos. running dosemu.bin directly like this means that the old /var/lib/dosemu is used.
if you don't want this hack and want to run dosemu the "1.0.2 way", just put symlinks in your home folder (to your drives) and run dosemu -home, I think.
alternatively to all of these ways of accessing your drives, use lredir <drive name:> <linux mount point>. this is the best way of doing imo.
