   13 Jul 16 15:40, you wrote to me:   
      
    JL>>> Ok. I found a DOS binary on sourceforge. Problem is, it segfaults   
    JL>>> DOSEmu.. Anyone have any ideas?   
    ml>> which DOS is it for? freeDOS? is freeDOS 32bit?   
      
    RM> Does a 32 bit DOS exist??   
      
   apparently...   
      
    RM> That would not be DOS any more, would it??   
      
   DOS is nothing more than "Disk Operating System"... it could be 256bit and   
   still be DOS...   
      
    RM> Or do you mean extensions such as the DOS Protected Mode Interface   
    RM> (DPMI)   
      
   nothing like that should be needed for true 32bit stuffs... they should be   
   using a flat memory model... the last time i used freedos it was very   
   different from the normal MS-DOS... especially in the memory area... i had to   
   figure out the new ways to get the drivers loaded that i needed to access a   
   machine i was rescuing data from... that was several years ago when machines   
   started coming out with no standard RS232 serial ports on them... luckily i   
   was able to use the parallel post to rescue this particular machine ;)   
      
    ml>> aside from that, FIDOSOFT.HUSKY would be the place to ask about HPT   
    ml>> specific problems like that...   
      
    RM> Indeed ... but I doubt that there will be people left interested in   
    RM> compiling and supporting it for DOS.   
      
    RM> I still think that you are better of using old DOS tossers like FastEcho.   
      
   agreed to a point...
