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!
