As far as I remember the 1.1.4+ versions ran any program I threw
at them (even the Tomb Raider demo succeeded, with the most
advanced 1.1.4 versions, e.g. 1.1.4.14) *with* sound (that is,
shooting sounds, speech, &c). But *no* music (apart from once when
I used a *very* experimental patch by Stas Sergeev). DOS-type
music seems to be very difficult on Linux/Dosemu (as it is on
modern versions of Windows btw).

Linux [hostname] 2.4.20 #17 Sat Jun 14 15:46:24 CEST 2003 i686
GNU/Linux

Debian "testing", basically. "Hand-rolled" kernel. Sound Blaster
PCI 128 (Ensoniq 1371). But earlier, I used a 2.2.18-pre-blabla
kernel with Alsa.
