Greetings,

Has anyone out there got David Hedley's <hedley@cs.bris.ac.uk>
pcemu1.01alpha working?

I compiled the distribution on my FreeBSD-1.1.5.1, but I can't
understatnd the following instruction stated in the README.

    > Shove it in your Unix box and type cp /dev/fd0 DriveA This should
    > create a 720k (or whatever) file which the emulator can boot from.

What the hell is `cp /dev/fd0 foo' supposed to mean, anyway?  /dev/fd0
is a device file, that you don't cat, less or edit.

At that point, the floppy is a bootable MS-DOS disk so it won't mount as
a filesystem.

I suspect the instruction given is plain wrong.  Any suggestions?

Regards,
junichi
