Hi, when you test Norton Cache 8.0 in Dosemu with a disk image, you
should be able to use dosdebug to investigate WHY you get the "div by 0"
error. Maybe it accidentally tried to cache one of the non-diskimage drives
of Dosemu.

This raises the question what the difference between the current and the
other version is. This will tell you a lot about which parts needed
adjustment to become FreeDOS compatible.

Did you try all of {himem,fdxms286,fdxms,fdxxms,dosemu} and
{umbpci,emm386,dremm386,none,dosemu}? I guess with (any),none for
XMS and EMS/UMB it does run?

What does Dosemu say? Or is it a problem related to any of the FreeDOS
XMS/EMS/UMB drivers, so that the crash just does not occur in Dosemu?
