[This is the Xwindows version of the DOS Emulator for Linux. --mdw]

	This one is based on dosemu0.48(by Rober Sanders). If you like X dosemu,
you should also thank Rober Sanders.

I am still using XFree 1.1.     It is reported if you link the objs with 
XFree 1.2, the libxdosemu.a is not usable. It won't hurt. You can use the
compiled binaries and pass your options to xdos. See Install.
  Maybe I can give you a hint if you want to compile it:   You should link the
objs and X11 libs with static linking.

It is available at
	1. sunsite.unc.edu	/pub/Linux/Incoming
	2. earth.csie.ntu.edu.tw(140.112.28.163)  /pub/Linux

Features:
	. Running under X window. ( So you can set DISPLAY to other machines )
	. 80x25 COLOR term   ( It only runs on a color VGA )
	. ALT keys and func keys work. (They don't work under xterm)
	. Xterm's scroll bar and copy-paste buffer

Bugs:
	. Copy-paste still works, but you can't see the highlight portion.
	. Screen refreshing bug. This bug should not hurt too much. Fixing this
	  bug will slow screen output down a little.
	 (cls before running a program, will be fixed soon)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install:

Options:
-xms			/* Enable XMS */
-hd_head HD_head	/* physical HD */
-hd_cyl	HD_cylider
-hd_sec HD_sector
-imhd_head HD_head	/* your hdimage file */
-imhd_cyl HD_cylider
-imhd_sec HD_sector

	Assuming you have run dosemu before,

	1. Copy your bootable msdos hdimage in your dosemu dir to xdosemu dir.
	2. modify 'xd' and add the options above.
	3. cp libxdosemu /lib
	4. chmod 4755 xdos	( set root uid for this file )
	5. % xd     ( hdimage as C, /dev/hda as D (write protect) )
	6. See xdos.* shell-scripts to see how to swap C: D: and set write-
	   protect.

	You can enable/disable HD write-protect at any time.
	   ( Press CTRL and the left button of your mouse, then you can see a
	     menu )
