Ah, yes. Forgot about those. Copied them into
/usr/local/share/dosemu/msdos/dosemu and all is well now.

Regarding the RPM installation, I was afraid of doing that, not knowing
where the RPM would place various stuff. I may do that next after making
sure I have a backup. I'd much rather have RPM installs for everything on
this system. Just never did that with dosemu, though.
