Hello Maurice,

It's working okay though the screen drawing is slow for unknown reasons.  I'm 
just thinking it's the homemade FOSSIL driver that is in the software itself.  
I'm running MBSE 1.0.7.9 under Slackware 64 v14.2 stable with the DOSemu 
available from Github using PC-DOS 2000 for the DOS setup.

The very one mentioned above. :)

Sounds like fun.  I have so much I want to do these days but unfortunately, my 
job keeps me busy and with two hours wasted each day commuting, I just don't 
have time anymore.  I barely have time to keep the BBS up right now.

Later,
Sean
