DOSEMU is a Linux application that enables the Linux OS to run
many DOS programs.

Due to the technical challenge it has been to install on many
Linux distributions, DOSEMU remains one of the under-utilized big
guns of the Linux arsenal.

But if you still must run DOS programs and you want to enjoy the
advantages of Linux, you owe it to yourself to get to know DOSEMU.
You won’t regret it. You never knew what a powerhouse DOS could be
until you united it with Linux.

It is simply an unbelievably free feeling to be running your
favorite DOS application in an xterm in X-Windows in Linux.
