Okay, I made a 1G file, built an ext3 filesystem on it and mounted it
as a loop device.  Then I copied the whole C drive directory onto the
loop fs and changed the symlink (~/.dosemu/drives/c) to point to it.

Word still thinks the disk is full.  :-(

This probably deserves an RTFM, but... How dow I use mkfatimage16 to
(most likely) solve my problems?  Do I build the FAT image and then
mount it as a loop device or is there something I do to tell DOSEMU to
mount it itself?

Thanks.
