I have created a dos 6.22 bootable EMX disk. I have tested this on 
several modern PC's with no problems yet. If there is enough demand I 
will consider posting this in the files section. 

Simply put - No matter how modern your computer, or what OS you are 
running, you can simply boot from the floppy or cd and begin running 
EMX. More testing to do. Will keep posting progress.

Cheers Peter

please post it.

Update on progess of testing;
The file when uploaded (soon I promise)will be a self extracting 
file "EMX BOOT DISK.exe". It is a winimage program which you will 
need to run in order to create a bootable 1.44 FD (more detailed 
instructions later). When PC is booted from this created boot floppy 
it will and create a ramdisk and load DOS into it.You will get a 
prompt x:/EMX

You then just type EMX to launch EMX program.

Now the kind of tricky part. In order to get .em* files into this 
ramdisk you will need to have a cdrom drive and a cd with the samples 
in emx format. You then type cdrom at the x:/EMX prompt and it will 
load DOS cd drivers and then you will see which drive letter has been 
allocated to the CDrom drive. Usually c:. Change to this directory c: 
and type the DOS copy command eg; "copy 55-disk1.em2 x:"

This will copy the sample file to the emx directory. Change back to 
x:\EMX and type EMX to launch the EMX program. From here it is plain 
sailing [W] write file etc ....

I have run into a slight problem - I allocated 4megs to the ram drive 
and this should not be too much of a hassle unless you want to dump 
more than 4 megs worth of samples into the X:/EMX directory. I may 
increase the size as I was doing some 4 meg em2 files last night.

Please give me any feedback if you see any thing I should change.

There is a much simpler way of doing it,all you need is a Windows 98
startup disk, check out my emx page at
