I don't know enough about Racy or Precise to tell you what other sources might work.

Yup. It gives you a DOS command line (and file system).Flash wrote:Does DOSEMU run DOS programs in Linux?
And since machines that run DOS are getting rare...
(granted, software that runs in DOS is also getting rare...)

I probably should note there's also DOSBox, as an option.
As for DOS software going away... I wouldn't entirely say that. It's still being produced, in the form of console/CLI software. You just don't hear about it, as much, because everyone looks for GUI-based software first and foremost.
(...and yes, there's often a number of Linux command-line program ports in there...)
We're raising the next generation unable to use the command-line, I tell you.

Hey! Thanks for the link.

EDIT..eh,..no luck so far. Oh well,...guess I could switch Puppies so that I could use the Debian version (so easy to do).

As also mentioned, give DOSBOX a try also. I think that I've played with both, and both seemed fine.nitehawk wrote:Hey! Thanks for the link.

Too late, Retro,..
already got Macpup 529 installed (forgot just how nice it is)...and have Dosemu up and running. Dosbox always seemed a bit confusing to me (having to use the Z: drive,..instead of the old C: drive thingy. I'll try fooling more with Dosbox, though ..mayge I'll like it just as much. Who knows?

I remember the look on my co-workers faces when they walked behind me on an XP machine, and I was working in the DOS window...Makoto wrote:I probably should note there's also DOSBox, as an option.

Unfortunately, the XP family doesn't have a REAL DOS window, so it's a bit unstable* when running some programs (I have lots of old Fortran code that I run -- I have pretty much moved over to running it all under Puppy).
* (by unstable, I really mean "unstable" -- a code will run one time, and fail the next 2 times, then run the one after...unpredictably unstable...)

Yeah, I should stop skimming topics before I reply.Makoto wrote:I probably should note there's also DOSBox, as an option.
Hmm... I don't remember the CLI in XP being that unstable... but then, I didn't try to do much in the way of programming with it. That's what my 9X/ME or earlier machines are for, with the true DOS setups.RetroTechGuy wrote:I remember the look on my co-workers faces when they walked behind me on an XP machine, and I was working in the DOS window...
