In DOSBox 0.61, DPMI support was disabled (== removed entirely?), on the apparent grounds that DOSBox could do just about everything DPMI did anyway. This is slightly unfortunate for me; I have a DOS program (not a game, but related) which I want to run which, when run under DOSBox, exits immediately with "Load error: no DPMI - Get csdpmi*b.zip" (I've done that, it changed nothing). Why exactly this happens I don't know - maybe it would run perfectly fine under DOSBox without DPMI, but it doesn't know that, so because it doesn't find DPMI it refuses to start.
Anyway. Point is, is there a way to get programs such as this working under current DOSBox (under Linux, FWIW) without explicit DPMI? If not, is there any chance of getting DPMI support back? If not, what can I do to try to get the program working anyway, by hook or by crook?
