Well, it could work for files that are accessed as FS images, but  
certainly not for the FS redirection. And even DOSLFN's FS image mode  
(where DOSLFN just sees a typical FAT FS) might not work correctly with  
DOSBox's built-in DOS because of the latter's peculiarities. (DOSLFN  
should work for typical FAT FS inside a DOS booted in DOSBox, though.)

Nah. It doesn't even properly implement tracing with TF. I did patch that  
locally, but they'd probably turn down patches like that because "no game  
needs it" and if that's the case, they don't want it (even if it doesn't  
do any harm). Such seems to have been handled better by dosemu, too.
