But this was introduced only last June, and it has the default $_mapping = "". So it is guaranteed not to work on a updated Debian Sid system. Something must be wrong in the communication (two-way) between Debian and dosemu.. It would be a pity if dosemu would die, either by the present conflict among the developers, or by neglect by the major distributions. There are many legacy DOS programs out there which are still actively used. I get between 100 and 200 non-robot hits every week on my dosemu page alone. There is still interest in this project "out there".
