This script ("/usr/bin/dosemu" or maybe "/usr/local/bin/dosemu") start dosemu binary "dosemu.bin" - probably at line 404 via "exec" shel command. You should debug this script for determining exactly why this call fail. And only notice - I think You should try dosemu version 1.4.0, it is much better than 1.2.2. HTH, Franta Hanzlik
