[Paolo Gaggini (Safe Systems)]

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile dosemu "ancient" version 1.0.2.1 on debian 4.0 but 
with no success, has someone else done it before? How?

Thank you in advance

Because I've an old clipper application that must work in client-server 
mode throught IPX (mars-nwe). In an old redhat9 server it worked fine, 
with dosemu1.0 and msdos5.0 that connects itself to the netware share 
(same as the remote clients);
but with dosemu1.4+freedos, I can't use the netware tools to connect to 
the share because they need msdos 3 to 5 and don't work with freedos.
Using the msdos5.0 on dosemu1.4, results in very slowly execution of the 
clipper application (I don't understand why...) so now last chance is to 
use dosemu1.0 with msdos5.0, that are known to work fine with that 
clipper application.

dosemu versions prior 1.2 were very unstable. It's just not good idea. 

I use msdos 6.0 with netware client from novell.com 
(http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/downloads/dw271e.zip) - try this 
one before trying sth else. Check also if increasing hogthreshold value in 
your config file helps.

Usually, it's better to think in terms of goals rather than means
to achieve them. If you state your goal (needs, requirements) and
ask for help you are likely to get more useful information.

So, how about asking how to make dosemu work fast enough for your
app to succeed? Maybe someone knows how to make it work with MSDOS 5.0
fast enough, or how to make freedos work faster, or sth like that.
