that raises the question why you do not do what is expected of Linux
users in that situation and run your Windows software through Wine.
Afterall, the Wine developers state that the main reason for writing
something like Wine is to make Linux users independent of Windows, and
AFAIK all of the big Linux distributions come with Wine.

I guess if we poor DOS people had something like Wine, I would use it
all the time. ;-)
