However, using the os2k386 in place of dosx in the install files seems to cause dosemu to have some filesystem-related problems. The first error is that it is "unable to update registration info", and then when going to file copy, there are lots of "Write error: FOO.BAR The file is write protected. Error Code #210" It is the same with all 3 MS-DOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS. > > >Look at the function at 014:11f7 in setup.exe.

To do that, one would need a working installation, which you have and I do not. :) -- Ryan Underwood, , icq=10317253
