Ehhhhhhh ;-) Nice. dosrunner was developed by Arpi, then it was rewritten
by me under the name of 'DOSRUN'. However it's far from being perfect and
it CAN'T run 32 bit DOS apps (you mean DPMI, don't you). For that purpose,
use DOSEMU, it can offer DPMI for you AFAIK. BTW, dosrun is under heavy
rewriting (as usual :) by me, again.
