Any one know how to run old MSDOS programs. WINE is OK for windows
based programs but seems to have problem with MSDOS.
I hear about DOS Box, but its website does not show support for ubuntu
or gOS.
Well in the past, on a windows system I could always start a "dos-box"
by running the executable "command", so I did a bit of investigationg,
and found that if you run:
gOS->Wine->Browse C:\Drive
You can browse to the virtual Windows filing system, and if you use
that to browse to"
Windows->System32
You will find a file called cmd.exe there, right click it, and choose
Open with "Wine Windows Program Loader"
If you do a DOS window will open, and I assume you can run DOS
programs from there!'

I looked but did not see "DOSBOX" on the list in synaptic package
manager. Does it has a different name? Do I have to add a new source
to the synaptic package manager?
