Bart you are absolutely right - there were two dosemu.bin's.

I've moved the files in /usr/local/bin to /usr/local/bin/old because 
they wouldn't start dosemu.

The grep 1.2 /usr/bin/dosemu.bin produces several hits of visible 1.2 in 
the text portions (I realize . matches any character)
and grep 1.3 produces no hits.

So I indeed have 1.2.2.8 which is what apt-get reported.

Whenever 1.4 comes out in a deb file I'll try that but for now I'm 
pretty happy.

I regularly run a number of DOS programs - Supercalc (spreadsheet), 
Wordstar and Q&A.  I especially use a lot of SC because my fingers know 
what to do without thought!

Thanks toboth of you for helping.

Larry
