In many cases it's as easy as downloading a new tar source file and adding it to the existing source rpm, doing three seconds of editing on the spec file to account for the new update, and compiling the result. Sometimes it's

...hich has allowed me to make over 260 DOS games playable online at http://www.classicdosgames.com/online.html. jDosbox can even run Windows 3.x and Windows 98 -- though it would be illegal for me to install Windows in a disk image and put it online. Of course, there's HX DOS Extender (http://www.japheth.de/HX.html). So the other question is, could Wine's implementation of the Windows API be incorporated into HX DOS Extender, and is there any interest in trying? Anyway, I'm sure y'all are a friendly bunch, but go easy on me anyway. I realize that the purpose of Wine is to make life eas...

I have several batch files from my windows installation that I've been using for many years, and I wonder what's the best way to transfer them to a Linux machine, without having to rewrite them as shell scripts. Some of these batch files call DOS programs and some call Win32 console programs. Unfortunately I have a few that has calls to both a DOS and a Win32 console program. The problem
