So anyway, what it boils down to is that David Hedley is quite happy for me to roll a new PC-Emu release and take over looking after it. I can't promise to do any serious development on it, although I can see some places where it would win greatly from the DOScmd code, but I'll undertake to accept patches and coordinate releases. Blah blah blah. I have something that vaguely approximates a cut at this here (very ragged still though 8( ), and what I'm looking for is a small set of testers (perferably ones that are using PC-Emu already) to check that I've correctly merged things and that the result is mildly cohesive. If/when this proves the case, I'll release the result in comp.emulators.misc and make a 'real' port out of it.
