Slawek@belfer.ifpan.edu.pl : pcemu for X is a start... And "wine". But note, pcemu does 8086 DOS code and wine doesn't exactly do enormous numbers of applications (I've had minesweeper working). If you want dos/windows, dos/windows is still the best solution. If you want these *and* a real OS, your best approach is dual-boot or two machines. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
