Well, it is just a polite behaveor (not a bug), but in fact it is possible to use the device without locking it. There are reasons against doing this however. > was trying to avoid the development versions. There are no reasons doing so, as in my own opinion after all dosemu was never very stable:) So you just have to find the version that is most suitable for your own requirements and if this appears to be a development version - why not? For that reason, btw, a lot of people are still using dosemu-0.98 as it meets their needs better than any 1.x versions, but this hopefully can be changed when 1.2 comes. > Think I should try 1.1.3? As this will fix your particular problem - yes. Or you can even use the latest pre-releases as several people are doing already, because 1.1 branch was evolving rather steadily for the last year. As a bonus of using pre-releases, you'll be able to apply some extra patches to get for example sound working in games:)
