Re: Dosemu on 64 bit architectures

I have been in this position for many years; a Dos Cadd program
I depend on will not run properly on Dosemu under 64-bit
linux, but runs fine on 32-bit systems. So I just use a 32-bit
virtual Ubuntu machine (I use VMware player). Works fine. I would
be happy to send you a copy of the VM if you would like.

thanks
