The experimental setup script I wrote for dosgate expects a dos boot floppy with a batch file called 'reader.bat' that starts up the screen reader. It then makes a disk image from the floppy and installs dosgate on it. Unluckily, if there are problems with a dos screen reader under dosemu even without dosgate, the only thing you can do is to tweak dosemu configuration, like setting $_hogthreshold = (0) to improve responsiveness or similar things. I would also be interested on mantaining a web page about how dos screen work under dosemu, with suggestions on how to make them work or work better, warnings about things that do not work and any other interesting comments. dosemu authors could also be informed about this use of their work, so that they could make dosemu run dos screen readers in the best possible way.
