DJGPP works generally Ok under DOSEMU for me (I'm using 0.99.13).
However I'm using it mostly under Win95. Thing I don't like is absence of
support of LFN on drives accessed using LREDIR. I think it could be rather
difficult when DOSEMU have full access to partition, but it could be
possible easier when LREDIR is being used (Linux understands LFN on VFAT
partition, so I think all we need is LFN API under DOSEMU similary as we
have in Wincrap9X)
