To be fair I didn't mention the version of LZEXE. I know it was just an observation ;) Hi, I have just read about this, actually. But since you mentioned "doing it right"... I actually ended up reading posts in another forum where they attempt to recreate the original .EXE files, and they …

Such a thing should work in case the bootstrap code does not depend on loading into a fixed memory area like 0000:7c00 (probably not very likely), or in cases with well-configured DOS so that 0000:7c00 and up is available for use.

You could compress the executables with LZEXE like id Software did and rename "AdLib/Sound Blaster" to "General MIDI" on the music submenu in the sound settings. That's easier said then done. The symbols/overlay must be stripped first and the header must be patched to reflect the new size., then …

Difficult to not answer regarding the previous post, but DOSBox supports games only. You are better of using DOSBox-X or any other forks that supports applications. See this link for more details on why you should not use it: DOSBox IS NOT SUITED TO RUN YOUR NON-GAMING DOS APPLICATION
