Bootfile
Hello,
I'm using PTS-DOS with dosemu-1.1.4.10.
Cause PTS-DOS has "unstandard" names of startup files:
ptsbio.sys, ptsdos.sys, config.pts and autopts.bat
I was using bootfile boot.blk with first 512 bytes of bootdisk.
Unfortunately I don't remember how it was configured.
It seems that something changed in dosemu configuration in meantime, anyway.
How start PTSDOS with dosemu without vbootfloppy?

the configuration with boot.blk should still work. You just need to "dd" it from some PTSDOS disk and stick it in the same directory with the other files.

Yes. There were wrong permissions for that file.
BTW, release 1.1.4.5 was the last where snake.com is working under xdos/xdosemu. This game is available for free download from PTSDOS site, it is small, then I put it in attachment.
If text mode was fully emulated in xdosemu, it would be nice. Probably previous sentence is not grammatically correct, but you undurstand.

after some binary searches I found out that Stas' pic_prot.diff is guilty for doing this. Stas, can you figure out why?

yes, this is what Eric Auer's patch is about (if you mean font changes in text mode).
