Assorted RPMS for Centos 5

Assorted RPMS for Centos 5

Compiled by Frank Cox

I have compiled some rpms on Centos 5 for my own use and I am making them available here for anyone else who may also want them.

I didn't write any of these programs; I just use them on a regular basis.

These are i386 rpms that have been compiled on either my Acer Aspire One laptop or an Intel Core 2 application server, and x86_64 rpms that have been compiled on my i7-940 desktop, all running Centos 5. The source rpm used to create the binaries is here as well.

DOSEMU (homepage)

DOSEMU stands for DOS Emulation, and allows you to run DOS and many DOS programs, including many DPMI applications such as DOOM and Windows 3.1, under Linux. This version is from svn revision 1999, dated January 26, 2010.

Note for x86_64 architectures:

DOSEMU's default cpu emulation setting on x86_64 is “vm86”. Click here to download a program (named tester.exe) that will cause DOSEMU to crash when run on x86_64 using the default cpu emulation setting. By changing the cpu emulation setting to “vm86sim”, the tester.exe program doesn't crash.
tester.exe doesn't really do anything; it either crashes DOSEMU or it returns to the C: prompt. The source code (written in PowerBASIC) is included so you can see what it does.
