A cheaper and better alternative is Win4Lin (www.netraverse.com). Be sure to get Version 3.0, which came out very recently. I think it costs about $70, maybe much cheaper from places like Linux Mall (I haven't checked). I've used Win4Lin for about nine months, with very good if not totally perfect results. In particular, I've not had problems running Quicken, TurboTax, or Word 2000, and the performance on my machine is probably 80% of native Windows. (With a faster startup time.) But it won't run some games that depend on DirectX. I made the original enquiry. Thanks for the replies.
The DOS applications I want to run (under LINUX) are Wordperfect 5.1, and Turbo Pascal 7.0.
FWIW, Win4Lin also supports DOS. Paul
