Just got a reply to my email politely asking if Bethesda would update the DOSBox 0.61 link on their Arena download page ( http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/downloads_games.htm ). You can see that it now points to the DOSBox homepage.

Message: First, thanks so much for releasing the floppy version of Arena
as a free download!

I\'m one of the moderators on the VOGONS forum (www.vogons.org),
which is the official community support forum for the DOSBox emulator. I
want you to know that the VOGONS community appreciates your
recommendation of DOSBox as an emulator for running Arena under modern
operating systems. However, I would like to point out the the version
(0.61) that you are offering is very very old and is resulting in a lot
questions on the VOGONS forums asking for support with or reporting bugs
in that now ancient version. The latest version is 0.63, and it runs
Arena much better than 0.61 does.

If possible, it would be much appreciated if you could update that page
to either point to the DOSBox home page (dosbox.sourceforge.net), or at
least offer the latest official version (0.63) for download. The former
option is preferred, as even newer versions will eventually be released.
due to DOSBox\'s active development.

Thanks!
