I have used ScummVM on Windows machines, but this is a pure DOS machine, and
there is no DOS version of ScummVM.

Well, ScummVM is a better alternative to FreeDOS for running that game.

For both the diskette and CD versions of the classic game "Beneath A Steel
Sky," use of Japheth's HIMEMX causes the game to fail during startupwith the
error: Fatal System Error cs:eip = 8:9f6 Sorry!I picked up a fragment
of
information sometime/somewhere that the game is somewhat vulnerable to such
errors, at least under Windows, because of the memory manager it was developed
with.Reverting to HIMEM v3.26 (Aug 25 2006) makes the error go away.Use of
Japheth's JEMM386 with HIMEM v3.26 causes no problems here.--John Hupp
