- Apparently a lot of people see this problem, and a lot of others don't.
- In emu.c, I patched the line of code right before the switch on interrupt
- type, checking the pointer to see if it's null. If so, then I just
- had it return (right now I'm typing this under DOS so I can't pop over
- see the exact code change). Suffice it to say there are still some kinks
- in the DOS emulator code.
-
- The rest of the instructions should be easy to follow, once you get the
- A> prompt. Only trouble is, there are *very* few DOS programs you can
- actually run at this point. I'm happy to see there are people working
- on it, but please don't expect too much right away: dosemu is a work in
- progress.
