dosemu and pentium 4

Anyone running DOSEMU on a Pentium 4?

On my machine. /proc/cpuinfo reports "cpu family" as being 15. However, I
see in the sources that dosemu does not recognize/allow such a value. (I
went through this a while back and had to put it aside for a bit. Now it is
back.)

Why run dosemu? To be able to run a command line compiler for a Texas
Instruments DSP. Seems it identifies itself as 

	dspcl.exe:  MS-DOS executable (EXE), OS/2 or MS Windows

Wine will not run OS/2 (or old windows) apps. It is not a windows app per
se, but I guess TI compiled it as one. Wine reports:

	err:module:MODULE_Decide_OS2_OldWin Hmm, an error occurred.
		Is this binary file broken ?
	wine: 'S:\ti640\dspcl.exe' is an OS/2 binary, not supported

I can't see where in wine to tell it to run a specific program as an old
Windows app (which I think it really is) and not as an OS/2 app.

Until I sort this out, my options are to have either a Windows box, or a
UnixWare box running merge (which implements a decent dos that will run the
damned thing). I want to compile on Linux, as nature intended.

Any suggestions are welcome. Getting rid of the TI compiler is not one of
them.
