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.
