May I just suggest you a better way of
spending your free time? :)
There is another dos emulator there, called
DosBox (was already popped up on that list
recently). It seems to have a rather complete
DPMI support, including the undocumented
"MS-DOS" extension, which means it is intended
to run the programs like bcc and winos2, which
was a "secret weapon" of dosemu for years.
Their DPMI source code looks very clean and promising:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/dosbox/dosbox/src/ints/dpmi.cpp?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain
but I am wondering if it really exceeds dosemu
as it claims to be (which is deserved anyway).
So, as you seem to have some spare time left
(otherwise why would you start fiddling with
1.0.2?:), it would be very nice if you try
how good is DosBox's DPMI support compared to
the one of dosemu (but not 1.0.2) and let us
know.
