Upgrade your dosemu. Old dosemus has a
bug which prevents the AC flag from
being set, and this is how the programs
are testing whether the CPU is 486, so
they get confused.

cpu emulation problem

[Ľuboš Šoltés]

	Hi everyone

	I'm new to dosemu, I just installed it for the single purpose
	to play a game named Fragile Allegiance.

	I've installed the 1.0.2 bindist with freedos bindist.

	The problem is when I start the installer of the game I get
	the following nice error:

	Fragile needs to take use of the 32 bit capabilities of a 486DX
	or above processor to run. The processor in your PC is only
	capable of 16 but operations.

	Anyone has any idea how to fix it? I've tried setting $_cpu to
	386,486,586 with no result.

	thx for help

It sounds an awful lot like the game wants to use VCPI or unreal-mode
memory, neither of which will work under dosemu.  Does it use DOS4GW or
any other DPMI dos extender?  If so, then the problem is somewhere else.
