Hello FabriceIn order to have similar features to dosemu in QEMU, implementingMFSsupport in QEMU would be useful, but it would require a lot of work.I use QEmu mainly for running GEOS under FreeDOS on my WinXP system. There are different drivers for DOS network file access (M$, Novell, Pathfinder and a lot more). MFS is the definition used under DOS. Unfortunatly, the Microsoft Client for DOS (SMB access) eats away the most of directly acessible RAM, so that a lot of apps won't run. The Novell client (NetWare access) doesn't work for the lack of IPX support.

I use GEOS since 1991 and have tons of documents I still use. The emulation in QEmu works very good. Only the sound could be a little bit better. The main advantage is that the network is running very fast compared to Bochs. I use the Novell drivers for DOS and GEOS sets up the TCP/IP stack on it.
If your host system is indeed WinXP i suggest rebuilding QEMU with FMOD audio output driver, it should be much better than default SDL audio. -- mailto:address@hidden
