let me get this straight,.. you're saying that the $WHEREAMI/hdimage
dynamically grows in size in accordance with how much you put on it?
ie
fdisking a hdimage to say 8 meg while the hdimage = say 500k
will leave a 550k file which grows in linux to a maximum of 8meg (yes?)
but under the dos emulator it will *look* like 8 meg even if hdimage is
only 1 meg in size (yes?) If so, does hdimage also shrink in size if
you remove data from it?
if it does all of the above, I'll be well impressed (incidentally,
i'll have a shot with msdos(6)beta next week when i get a bit of
free time that should be fun 8-)..
BTW.. I tried compiling dosemu4.0 under 2.3.2 snapshot 921128,...
it wouldn't work,.. I assume that others have had it working on 2.3.3?
