subscription for dosemu?

[Peter Jay Salzman]

has any of the developers thought of selling dosemu support ?

would the transgaming business model work with dosemu?   i'm pretty sure
there wouldn't be enough people to support a full time staff like winex,
but i think something like that would make the users very happy and
encourage faster development of dosemu.

just a thought.   although i'm a grad student and don't have much money,
i'd certainly be willing to pay 1) for support and 2) to help the dosemu
project along to encourage more development.  i'm sure others would do
the same.

Probably not. The gamers are generally
willing to pay, but not for dos games,
but rather for the Windows ones:)

Maybe it is just too late and I personally
doubt people would be willing to pay for
the DOS progs support.

But then I guess you are a little too
late: sound support is already there
since very recently.

This may work, but probably it will not:(
This was already tried, see this:

and that didn't work...
I am really curious *why* is this failed?
Noone wanted 500$? But it seems like that:)
