Ah, this is very interesting. We (dosemu-team) just 'invented' a new type of packed dosapplications (*.dexe) that needs to be started by dosemu. This file in prinzipal is a preconfigured bootable dosemu hdimage, containing the FreeDos kernel and _one_ DOS-Application fired up in the config.sys via 'shell='. To start a *.dexe you need no special dosemu configuration, it will run 'out of the box'.
You may look at the newest dosemu-0.66.3 for more details. = However, to execute it we currrently use a script, and I would be very lucky if we could cooperate and make this one binfmt_mz compatible such as that it just needs to set the exec-bit to a *.dexe ;-)
If you are interested please contact me.
