- I dont look at this group much, but can anyone give me some general info
- about this subject? Are there any DOS emulators for any Unix'es that
- will run any and all DOS apps? You know, fantasy/dream, itll-never-
- happen kind of thing.
-
- Seriously though, whats the best path to take for someone buying a new
- computer who likes Unix but wants to play all their DOS games and apps.

- Generally, I think DOS emulators are able simulate real mode 286
- programs with VGA adapters. So that means no protected mode windows,
- but it does mean a lot of other programs will run.
