I edited the dosemu script that got unpacked from the big binary .tgz file 
from /bin/sh to /bin/bash and dosemu seems to be working now (I hit Ctrl-C 
rather than Enter but will try it out soon).  So it is apparently 
necessary to have sh linked to bash in order to use the original script 
(or to some clone of bash, not ash).  Not enough to just have bash on the 
computer.  What other shells (not ash) might have worked instead of bash?
