That's a pity, since i still think the architectural design of pcemu
is *excellent*.  Things like Linux' dosemu might get you more
functionality, but having a real emulator is technically more
interesting.

>(If anyone else out there wants to take it further then please say!)

Anyway, if you've got quarter an hour left, try the FreeBSD package
for it and tell me whether you like it. :-)
