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.
