It's been ages since I've even seen them, but I seem to recall that the Norton 
Utilities did "fancy" things with screen handling, like reprogram some of 
characters in the font (or something similar to that) to have rounded corners 
and other stuff.

If you're trying to run this on a linux console, you may need to set direct 
console and/or graphics modes.  I don't have a dosemu handy but I believe the 
settings are "$_console = (1)" and/or "$_graphics = (1)"

I hope this helps,
Pete C.
