I have all the libraries now, I think.

I found it in lib-alsa*tgz in SW9.1 and copied over just that one library 
to /usr/lib and symlinked it to the library that qemu wanted.
I have now 'installed':
SW10.2 glibc (SW9.1 probably would have worked) - 1.45M plus libm  etc.
(This should prove useful for other programs).

qemu - 750K  (do I also need qemu-i386 and qemu-img, which have minimal 
dependencies, or could I use them instead of qemu?)
libSDL - 396K  (from the SDL package SW9.1)  with symlink
libasound - 657K   with symlink


TOTAL - about 1.8MB of files so far.  I already had libeXt (from 
icewm.tgz), libz, libutil and libpthread and libdl.

When I type 'qemu' I now get a list of help.

I did not find any need for esound arts or audiofile but I am not actually 
running qemu yet.  And I don't plan to use it with sound, just WP51 and a 
text editor in DOS, maybe also a CAD program that needs a mouse and 
graphics.

Next I will download the FreeDOS image and/or the BL3.40 qemu image and 
read instructions in previous emails.
