I now use a configuration which only requires the following files (or
their equivalent)

command.com
msdos.sys
io.sys

I have them in my /dos directory, from where all my other dos directorys
are mounted.   In other words I am using a directory (and all those
directories above it, including links) as a virtual hard disk.  I love
this setup, and havent had any trouble with it.  (however, I do not use
dosemu very often at all; If anything I run it to remember all those dos
programs I created in high school)
