Should I use dosemu? ;)
Seriously though, thanks for the 'advice' but I have it

I don't see them as being the same thing at all.
QEMU is a VM. Sure
Hi!
I hope you are all aware of the fact
that dosemu is totally outdated, only
dosemu2 is fresh at the moment:
http://dosemu2.github.io/dosemu2/
It has daily-built packages available
for Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSuSE :-)

Or rather, "a 'virtual machine' that only supports DOS".

DOS apps (not games but productivity applications) are by nature text

Gosh. I never use sound at all under DOS, but I believe it DOSemu2
does have some sound

Hello Travis,
Ok, odd question, (lots of emulation), but I've got ubuntu 20.04 running
under win10, using wsl. I can't seem to get dosemu installed under that
version of ubuntu (though it works fine under a real ubuntu system I
have). When I try to install dosemu under the ubuntu 20.04

Bochs has vvfat mode for that:
vvfat: local directory appears as VFAT disk (with volatile redolog /

You can also do that with qemu: -drive format=raw,file=fat:rw:$HOME/shared
The QEMU docs state that the FAT is created at startup - so any new files
added on the linux side won't appear to DOS after booting However, new
files created from DOS will update the in-memory FAT and thus appear to DOS

Maybe http://takeda-toshiya.my.coocan.jp/msdos/ is already enough on
Windows 10 x64?
DOSBox is no option?

You said this in answer to me the other day. I meant to respond, but was busy.

WSL1 or WSL2?
Might work on WSL2. Might not on WSL1 because there is no actual Linux
kernel present.

Ok, odd question, (lots of emulation), but I've got ubuntu 20.04 running
under win10, using wsl. I can't seem to get dosemu installed under that
version of ubuntu (though it works fine under a real ubuntu system I
have). When I try to install dosemu under the ubuntu 20.04 running
