No. DOSemu is a sort of dedicated virtual machine for running DOS under Linux. It runs DOS natively on x86-32, just trapping the hardware interrupts & so on with which DOS communicates with the hardware so that it can run safely & cleanly under the multitasking Linux kernel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosemu To run DOS on non-x86 architectures, you would need something that emulates an 8086 CPU, at least, and preferably an 80386 or better. Examples include BOCHS or QEMU, although QEMU would be more complicated as it emulates many different computers as well as PC-compatibles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bochs -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AOL/AIM/iChat/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • LiveJournal/Twitter: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
