Hello Kaya, Let me suggest an idea, alternative to those discussed before.
Can you check whether the "DOS-looking application" is really a pure MS-DOS (compatible) application, or if it is a Windows remake of one? If it is pure MS-DOS app, you can get away by running a DOS VM without Windows licensing and security issues. For an MS-DOS app you can try the free x86/DOS "virtualization platform" DOSBox (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/ or http://www.dosbox.com/) which notably allows running many ancient games (including networking like IPX). This program is open-sourced and can be compiled on a huge variety of systems, and it completely emulates an x86 CPU (so DOS games can be run on SPARC for example). If this does indeed work for you, and if you fine-tune the DOSbox VM's CPU cycles in particular (balance responsiveness versus host CPU thrashing), you can run the application on your Sun Ray server directly. (Well, almost directly). Alternatively, you can test whether VirtualBox allows MSDOS guests - that may have less overhead... -- Best regards, Jim Klimov mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
