I have upgraded dosemu-1.0.1 to dosemu-1.2.2. The problem is that the option $_emubat = "deb" does not work anymore.

Yes, but it is not a big problem.
You can use the /k option of
command.com in a SHELL= line of
a config.sys, to make it call the
alternative autoexec.bat.
Example:
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM c:\command.com /E:2048 /k autoxxx.bat and it will use autoxxx.bat instead
of autoexec.bat.
Coupled with $_emusys, which still
works, you can retain all the former functionality.

with $_xms = (10240) and $_ems = (10240) I receive the following error message:{{{
ERROR: MAPPING: cannot get IPC shared mem (Invalid argument)

You can just ignore that message (the consequences are that dosemu may work slower as it will use the file instead of IPC), or you can upgrade your dosemu further (to 1.3.1 or CVS), where this error no longer exist.

Yes, upgrading from 1.0.x have a few rough edges as a lot of the code was rewritten and some things now work differently.

working fine as before.
