One big asset, if possible, is a form of DOSEMU that would make it
so one could operate our DOS (maybe Windows 3+ --not 95 and on and
on, of course) programs on top of it. Is this feasible? Just how far does
DOSEMU take you anyway?. When I experimented with a Linux/DOS
partitioning around Christmas, I never tried DOSEMU.

I guess what I am dreaming of here is Linux with some way to run
DOS also. Any sense to this?
