o Remove init printf
o Don't set optind from return value for do_args. getopt has already
done this.
o Bump EMS memory from 1M to 10M (this really should be a command line
option).
o Open /dev/null when requested to open emmxxxx0 to allow many programs
checking to see if EMS is installed to find it.
o Route int67 to ems_entry to allow EMS to be used when DOS is emulated
as well as when DOS is booted. This may obviate the need for the
driver doing anything at all in a really booted situation and won't
hurt that case.
I can now run the DOS program I'm interested in running with enough
EMS memory that its "advanced" functions are enabled and working.

This is the merged doscmd/rundos project. Please read the man
page for help on configuring doscmd.
Things known not to work:
* No mouse support (yet)
* No ems support (yet)
* No raw VGA support (yet)
* Printer support (yet)
* COM ports (being worked on)
* redirected file system only supported for DOS 4.0 and above
(3.3 will be supported in a future version)
* Graphics in an X window (not planned to work)
Even with this, I think it is actually a much better product. There have
been problems reported with the ibmpc font and the distributed X server.
If you have that problem, try setting
X11_FONT=fixed
in your .doscmdrc. Be aware that graphics characters will not print correctly
if you do this.
You will need to patch your kernel. Diffs are provided against the CD-ROM.
Please let me know if there are a problem with them (I am running a pre 1.1
kernel now).
It is possible there are some problems in the floppy code due to the fact
that I am not set up to test under 1.0 at this point. I will be in a few
days I hope.
Please send all bug reports to prb@BSDI.COM.
