Greetings,

For a work related project I've got a DOS program (Borland C++ with
graphics library) that I want to run under FreeDOS, DOSEMU, and Linux.
The graphics are pretty simple - lines, bars, and an alphabetic font.

When I start DOSEMU from a Gnome terminal window, the DOS program
correctly displays its graphic just fine.  When I use a command line,
i.e. don't have X running, the program clears the screen but doesn't
display its graphics.  

Since the target machine is an embedded 486SX with limited mass
storage, operation without X is a  must.

I've got dosemu version 1.4.0.1 built with flags "X gpm -debug -svga".

Anybody knowledgeable about DOSEMU and its pitfalls for the unwary
newbie (namely me :-)

TIA,

David
