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.
