Getting QB to work in DOSEMU under Linux
#1
QB.EXE runs fine, but I get an error with /L no matter what lib I try to load - "invalid format". LINK gives the same error with OBJs and LIBs too. These files were copied straight from my Windows partition into the directory DOSEMU is using for C:, and they worked with QB 4.5 under Windows XP. Permissions aren't the problem - I set them to allow anything.

It came with FreeDOS... maybe that's the problem? I've got images of MS-DOS install disks, but they need to be booted up on. I tried editing the conf file to make it mount one of the images as an A: drive but it froze in the middle of boot up.

I found instructions on a site to get MS-DOS working under DOSEMU (copying in some files from an ms-dos boot disk), and I followed them exactly, but it didn't work - DOSEMU just froze when I started it.

Have any of you gotten MS-DOS and/or QB working properly under DOSEMU? How did you do it?
