dosemu works OK.

Re: DOS emulation

[Robert Watson]

I've been using vmware with great success under -STABLE.  Take a look at
/usr/ports/emulators/vmware2.  It's commercial, but works a lot better
than all the alternatives.  I've had decent success with pcemu for
DOS-based programs, although there are a few quirks.  I found bochs also
worked pretty well (fewer quirks, more features) but much slower.

If this is character based, I have the best luck running Quicken for
MS-DOS using the ``pcemu'' port.  Bochs is way much slower, and doscmd
also would work for me with this application.

Bochs and Wine both do a good job.
Check your /usr/ports/emulators or the FreeBSD web site.

There are a couple of strange uses for both programs.
Today we needed a DOS boot disk for some BIOS update in our shop 
which couldn't be created under Windows 2000.
My colleague did it with Bochs. :)

A bizarre use for Wine is this

Maybe 'doscmd'?  Let us know. :)

DOS emulation

Hi,
I have to run programs in Clipper/DOS under FreeBSD.
Does exist a good DOS-emulator or other solving of this problem?
