dosemu has the ability to execute linux shell commands, I know. Dosbox does not, unfortunately. It be nice to have such a facility. Then xywrite fans could have xywrite on any platform, not just windows. I suppose one could hack together a way of doing it via the dosbox IPX networking facilities. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
