I prefer dosemu because I am used to it, but the new GT Power code
maintainer wants to support DOSBOX-X because there is a Windows version,
where dosemu is mostly *nix.

I figured out that one can turn off the "built in" ansi driver by putting

ansi.sys = false

  in the config file, but that unfortunately didn't fix the problem.  I have
tried changing a few other settings but so far BRE still stalls for about
15 seconds before continuing.  It runs fine past that point.

Everything else seems to work better (i.e. faster), so maybe BRE is going to
be the trade-off.
