Hi Frantisek,

Thanks for your help.

(1) I'm almost there. Your rpm 1.2.2-1 did install, and it did go
through initial steps, got to a black screen, but no prompt and the CPU
is system loaded 100%. I had to kill xterm to stop it. But this may be
due to lingering dosemu installations from my compiled 1.4 version, so
I'll do some cleanup later.

(2) Do I understand correctly that you say compiled 1.4 on i386 (or for
that matter i586, i.e. any 32 bit PC processors) does not work? It did
not work for me, as indicated in the original posting: compile OK, but
dosemu command starts nothing. At least I could stop it with Ctr-C.

One step at the time...
