Re: DOSEMU PROBS
I found this page:
http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/dosemu.html which tells how
to set up the dosemu stuff...
The program I'm trying to run (a dos game named
"starball") still doesn't work - maybe because of the
lack of support for sound.
If anybody can tell me how to make sound work I'd like
that - otherwise.. It's not really urgent
regards,
Joris
