Since I get this on both dosemu and wine, is it a reasonable assumption that neither will work with a 64bit machine.
WINE works on AMD64 Linux. (It does not need vm86)

So is it possible to run a DOS executable via WINE? I'll give it a shot later today when I have a chance.
There is only bare support for running DOS executeables in WINE. Use dosbox or dosemu.
Ciao, Marcus
dosbox builds and runs on x86_64, I'd forgotten about it as dosemu has been fine up until now. Just tried one .exe and it's OK. I like the ability to mount any directory as drive C, far easier than getting executables in the right directory for dosemu. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....

My only issue with dosbox is that the fonts don't come up right at all... maybe I'm missing some config settings, but it's not really readable for use. I'll have to look into this and see what's not setup right.
I've only run text-based applications under dosbox, the fonts were OK, no settings were needed. Shows you how long ago I've used dos, can't remember if it ever did graphics, don't think it did. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
