25 Jul 08 - 01:14 PM (#2397735) Subject: Tech: DOS emulator for Linux From: Susan of DT I just got an ASUS eee computer, which runs Linux - so far it looks exactly like windows. I would like to get it a DOS emulator, so we can run the programs we use for the DT - askSam and SongWright. There seem to be plenty of these emulators. Anyone have experience with any and recommendations of what to use or to avoid? |

Hope that helps. |
