To clarify: it cured the problem with pushover. Or should i say, it
circumvented the problem caused by exepack?

Nevertheless, that has nothing to do with dosemu. It was a problem with
some versions of MSDOS. IIRC, in any case, i got the 'corrupted file'
message, i could run 'loadfix programm' and the problem went away.

Of course, i had only tested a few of such programms, and there may be
other programms without hope.

Can we agree, that there are cases, in which loadfix will work?
