I remembered this inquiry about failed DOSBox in the back of my mind but had practically given up on getting a reply.

Better late than never!

You don't have to quote my entire message twice (second time being in HTML quoted-printable).

I noticed upstream that DOSBox releases were very infrequent.

I'll check your link when I get to a better interface, am now in a console (NetBSD-current DRMKMS, looks identical to FreeBSD-current vt after returning from X, but X here won't start, and no mouse copy-and-paste, but working Ethernet unlike FreeBSD).

I need to look at the Porter's Handbook (long overdue for that!), see how to use SDL2.

Maybe wait for DOSBox fix, if it doesn't take too long, but it stopped me from building Wine.
