Why not just run fossil.com in your autoexec.bat?

That is a valid way to do it.
But it is dependent on the "virtual serial interface" being able to
successfully "fake out" the fossil driver. I am guessing it is easier
to present a fossil interface directly to the app.

I envision it would work something like this....
dosemu  --make_virtual_port  com=5  fossil=off  uart=16550  pipe=myfifo

this way if you wanted to use an external fossil driver, you could but
hopefully the implementation would be so good, it would not be necessary.
