Yes, I'll agree on that door.  I haven't tried to set it up myself but 
certainly have seen where others say it doesn't work with dosemu.  Not a 
huge deal for me, anyway.

Yes, NTVDM (which MRO even mentioned he uses, LOL) is indeed a DOS 
emulator for Windows.  Hahahaha, and yet he whines about emulating 
things in Linux.  He's a know-it-all, and doesn't like getting called 
out on his bullshit.  ;-)
