Hi Stav,

Thanks for your assistance...  The webhost had put my account onto a 64-bit 
server...  In trying to sort out the "Illegal User" message, I asked their 
support to try and run DOSEMU as root which they did and got a "vm86plus not 
available" and then they mentioned to me that it was on a 64 bit server... 
They moved it over to a 32-bit server and everything works fine...

Sorry to send you out chasing a red herring...

Regards
Brian
