Comment 6 for bug 704929

I don't understand that Debian provides version of dosemu_1.4.0
+svn.1999-2_i386.deb in stable packages.
So many people have found a bug with the programs written in PASCAL

I have tried this version on dosemu with different dconfigarations of
ubuntu and it never works in Turbo Pascal

Can you tell me where does the bug come and in any case dosemu_1.4.0
+svn.1999-2_i386.deb is not stable dosemu

Sincerely
Patrice Lemonnier

Programs developed for the real mode in turbo pascal work correctly.

But programs developed in 16-bit protected (DPMI) don't work.
