Try -D9+E log, maybe it will show
which exactly function fails.

OK, so here's the part of the log that is created by priv.exe

That looks like a VCPI check.
If this is an only error in
the log, then you are out of
luck with your program.
However, probably you have some
ancient dosemu and haven't
explicitly enabled DPMI in your
dosemu.conf?

dosemu and WC Privateer

Hi,

I'd like to play Wing Commander Privateer after years again and tried dosemu 
as I don't have any MS DOS or MS Windows on my computer.
I set up dosemu and installed a MS DOS distribution inside. I even can boot 
the DOS but can not use emm386.exe. I found out that I should use dosemu's 
ems.sys - indeed I have XMS and EMS memory available. But when trying to 
start priv.exe I only get the following message:
Protected mode driver is not responding to EMS function calls.
Make sure your EMS driver is not configured with the NOEMS option.
If it is, replace the option "NOEMS" with "RAM".

I only found this 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-msdos&m=90222220330619&w=2 but with no 
replies.
So how can I make it work?

thx, Dan
