I use OpenWatcom C or the IA-16 GCC to compile my programs. It's not as easy as DOSEMU, which actually creates a virtual C: drive from a folder on your Linux $HOME. Instead, QEMU uses a virtual disk image. To copy files, I just mount the QEMU image *qemu.img* from Linux, and mount it someplace like */tmp/freedos* guestmount -a *qemu.img* -m /dev/sda1 */tmp/freedos* (the */dev/sda1* in this case tells guestmount to mount the first hard drive partition) Jim
