From searching the web I see that it is standard for autoexec.bat in dosemu to end with 'unix -e'. It has something to do with running linux commands from dosemu. I have found on my system: /usr/lib/dosemu/drive_z/dosemu/unix.com plus other .com files. Does anyone know how I can incorporate or setup a path to /usr/lib/dosemu/drive_z/dosemu in my existing dosemu? I tried to: ln -s /usr/lib/dosemu/drive_z/dosemu/ drive_z but this screwed up dosemu itself such that it no longer responds to exitemu! I exited by control-c in the calling terminal but clearly something else has to be done to get the 'z' drive going. Advice anyone? Larry -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Linux
