None of the programs from v2 and v2gnu works under the newer versions of
dosemu, except that, e.g. if I remove gawk.exe and call awk.exe which
complains about a gawk.exe non-existant.

On the other hand, it seems that all the programs I compiled myself
using djgpp2.01 work fine.

I have an old go32-v2.exe (version 2.0, built on jan 23 1996) which 
works fine under recent dosemu, but the go32-v2.exe version of
Aug 12 1996 crashes under dosemu-0.66.
