Destiny,
I've used dosemu, but not dosbox. Dosbox is an emulator,
emulating the dos environment for apps. Dosemu is more like
a virtual machine. You install your favorite DOS, and it
fools the DOS OS by emulating the system and bios calls by
grabbing them, and keeping the dos in an emulated realmode
environment when it's still running in a protected mode
environment. Linux is actually running the hardware, dos apps
just think they are. It's similar to VMware, Parallels or Qemu,
where DOSbox is more like the DOS emulation in the NTs like
win2k or XP. I've run dosemu in an xterm which is similiar to
running a dosbox in win9x or Millenium, and run it from the
console which is like running the DOS natively. I ran the
early FreeDOS that came with Slackware, version .89 I think it
was, don't quote me on that version number. Later I installed
FreeDOS version 1.0, you can quote me on that version number.
You can install any DOS you want tho, even MSDOS. If you run
a proprietary DOS tho, it should be licensed.

Uploaded dos and unix url list pages at:
http://www.wisdomtree.info
These will be updated couple times per month.
Anyone had experience using DosEMU or DosBox in unix?
Do dos apps run in window or full screen?
Can you have several dos apps running concurrently?
How do you switch from dos app to unix desktop?
