Getting SIMX86.exe

Getting SIMX86.exe

[Bob Supansic]

I recently had to reinstall linux on a file server.  Unfortunately I 
forgot that I needed a 32-bit kernel and installed a 64-bit kernel 
instead.  When trying to run DOSemu I got the message that "vm86 plus 
service not available for your kernel".  I noticed in the documentation 
that SIMX86.exe can substitute for vm86.  Does anyone know where I can 
get a copy of SIM86.exe?  Or any other help with this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

     Make sure that the DOSEmu configuration file doesn't have $_cpu_emu 
option uncommented (without #) and thats it.
     You don't need SIMX86.EXE.

# Usage of cpu emulation: "off" (requires /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr= 0),
# "vm86" only (default) or "full" (vm86 and DPMI, experimental!).
# Use "vm86sim" or "fullsim" to use simulation instead of JIT code 
generation.

# $_cpu_emu = "vm86"

     If you still have problems, please send your .dosemu/boot.log file.
     Thanks.

     It is on my dosemu.conf.

     Thats an extract from my dosemu.conf file.

     In my boot.log I have the following 2 lines:
WARN: vm86plus service not available in your kernel
WARN: using CPU emulation for vm86()

     Maybe thats a feature of DOSEMU 1.4 only and is not available in 
1.2.2.0.
     Try DOSEmu 1.4, it should fix the problem and run fine under a 
64bit kernel without the need for SIMX86.EXE.

     Good luck!
