If you've tried the old dos emulator, try the variant I've put on
sunacm.swan.ac.uk:/pub/misc/Linux. This has a lot of fixes - like it
bothers to set all the carry flags. I can now run most DOS utilities
reliably. The only exceptions I've found are dir/p (as before),
format (not supported, crashes anyway), and ansi.sys (a bug in my
int10 fixes).
I've add full (but with 2 bugs I know of) emulation of mono display int10,
as well as the vblank wait that most direct video drivers use, extended
int13 tided the others up and added the AT extended bios (int15) calls.
It now seems happy to run microemacs and several other dos apps I've tried
(including HHGTTG!).
Also on there is a fixed version of rogue which has the original patches
to rogue clone applied and a help page added.
If the dos stuff seems to work let me know and I'll submit it on to
the original author of the dos emulator for inclusion.
