Send it along and I'll test it out.  Do I use FreeDOS, or real DOS?  I 
expect WP to work much better under DOS installed to a qemu image than 
with DOSemu, since the latter involves emulated hardware.

Yep, that's pretty much it.  Except that I got qemu running under BL3 too, 
as did Steven.  I used Slack 9.0 libraries, though, since I understood 
directions stipulated that.
