OK, give me a copy of the source then...  I'll take a look at it.  I think
the disks are pretty ordinary.  What I'll do is try copying them off with
Linux 'dd' and see if there's any joy there.
Does anybody know if EMX works under Freedos?  Since Freedos supports
networking etc. it would be no great shakes to build up a (very) low-end PC
specifically for running EMX, if you had to do it a lot.  Bear in mind,
though, that a Freedos boot floppy, EMX, and an Emax II floppy image will
fit onto a single 1.44M disk...
