Hi Shaun,

Well, first of all Sigwin is not Linux. It is basically nothing more
than the Bash shell,a few compilers, and other tools ported to
Windows. Its not at all the same thing as running a full blown Linux
OS so right there is your first problem with your idea.

Hypothetically speaking, though, if someone wanted to run Dosemu in
Sigwin they could. They'd just have to port it to Sigwin, compile it,
and then use it to run Dos games etc. That seems to me to be a lot of
fooling around just to make a few old Dos apps and games work under
Windows. So I don't think it is really worth it.

Cheers!
