I have ported BSDI's DOS emulator (`doscmd') to NetBSD, and fixed
numerous problems with it.  You can get a snapshot of the current
version from:

ftp://sipb.mit.edu/pub/netbsd/doscmd-19960414.tar.gz

Please read the bug list in the README file before trying to use it.

NOTE: YOU MUST BE RUNNING AN UP TO DATE -current KERNEL FOR THIS TO
WORK PROPERLY!  If your kernel is not up to date, please don't even
try it, and certainly don't report any bugs.  I've included the RCS
tags of the relevant files below.

(Also, please note that this version will not run under BSD/OS.  I
plan to fix this in the next couple of days.)
