Conversely, I tried out dosbox, an dos emulator, under Sarge last week. I used it to run an old gamma reference program. The original program came on two 360KB floppies and the programmer, I'm told, has since gone to his reward but the program did a nice job. With dosbox, it still does a nice job. It needed the "loadfix" to limit it to 64KB because it did not know what to do with 16MB of RAM.
Dosbox, of course, has the usual command line memory and tab completion. It was made to run old dos games but those are the trickiest of all, right? The project website shows screen shots of them running Windows 3.1 in it and many old dos games.
