Hi Greg. You can't steal the mscdex from some version of DOS and have it work with Free DOS. There is a web site for Free DOS where you can download all the pieces of Free DOS you are missing, but the url escapes me at the moment, and I don't recall where I read about it. Hummm, that must mean I'm getting old, right? Anyway, searching on one of the search engines on the net for free doss should turn it up. The problem is that each specific DOS command, such as mscdex is designed to work only with the version it came with. Janina was commenting earlier about running full-screen DOS programs like Word Perfect 5.1 and the like with ASAP. I run ASAP with my dosemu sessions all the time, and use such programs as the ONLINE BIBLE, FOXPRO, etc. with no problem. Of course, I am using a serial synth, a LiteTalk, and not a built-in synth like the DoubleTalk. It probably is posible to teach dosemu how to access the built-in synthesizers, but I haven't figured that out yet.
