Re: Illegal op ff e8 2c in newer dosemu

I have had the same problem with another accounting program for a LONG (many years) time. The accounting program (ACCPAC) will run on a 32 bit machine but generates op code errors on a 64 bit machine. I have had to resort to running it on the one 32 bit machine remotely via ssh.

It is likely a memory management issue that has never been fixed. Yes, some programs will run on a 32 bit machine but not ones that require larger memory.

I have tried all different configuration combinations, but after wasting a lot of time, I just bit the bullet and ran the accounting program on a 32 bit machine.

Let me know as I have a 64 bit box that I am not using because of this
DOS issue.

Must be some old limitation, because I use DOSEmu on a x86_64 system,
and I run 16bit DOS programs without any troubles.
