I searched for that and downloaded it, but when I install it, dosemu still says it's version 1.4.0.8 (even though the version in the filename says 1.4.0.7). I'm not sure why.. And TW2002 still complains about DPMI.
I've also tried running the non-DPMI version of TW2002, but it reports runtime error 208.
Do you have that .deb file anywhere?
