Dosemu progress since 1.0.2.1

[Bernhard.Bialas@t-online.de (Bernhard Bialas)]

Hello,
I have made a small comparison between the old 1.0.2.1 dosemu version 
and the new 1.1.4 version to see what programs runs now stable and what 
problems has been solved.
 From my aprox. 30 chess programs for DOS (or maybe more!), which I 
have,   9 was not running and 5 only under console, not under X. Now 
with the 1.1.4, only 5 programs do not run, and from the 5 which does 
not run under X only 2 remains. Rebel 9 and Rebel Decade runs now, also 
Gideon. Wit the PIC-Patches  from Stass Sergeev also Sargon V and 
Chessmaster 2000 runs. Under X,  Chessmaster 2100 runs now well.  With 
the missing instructions patch from Stass Sergeev also Nimzo3 and Comet 
B33 shows now a correct graphic. A very important thing: dosemu 
communicate now with the Novag Universal Chess Board ( Hardware!) over 
the serial interface with the chess programs.  
 From these programs, which do not run  under dosemu, some (like Mchess 
1.x, Socrates 3.0, Wchess) will probably never run because of the copy 
protection issues, for some other (like Virtual chess, ) there is a 
little bit hope.  All in all, there was a big progress since the last 
stable version -not mentioned the progress in sound!
For this all a big "Thank you" to the dosemu team.

Best regards
