Wow, that would be great!

Worst case will be the kernal not allowing LEdit enough hardware access
for the video modes it needs, and that would not surprise me.

I don't know too much about these issues, of course, but I think DOSEMU
is supposed to be able to show console graphics, if that is the correct
term.

Is RTM.EXE actually in that directory? And is the case correct?
Remember that DOS and linux differ over the importance of case :)

They are both in the same directory.  As for the case, how do I check?
Should I try to mount the DOS partition in Linux and upcase all the
filenames?

Hmm, I'd try linux.dev.msdos or linux.dev.config, or comp.os.linux.setup
if you don't get the linux hierarchy. That one is a bit beyond me.

I think I'll try comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine.  It'll be interesting
to see if this works.  Thanks for the help!

Fredrik
