It is my understanding that wine might also be used to run some MSDOS apps on Linux? Under DOS/WIN environment, I have software that was initially installed on network drive "J" and will only run from that drive. I have successfully (and legally) run this software on a non-networked DOS/WIN machine by creating a local directory that is a copy of "drive J", then using "subst" command to make drive "J" point to a local directory; then make drive "J" the current directory, then invoke program. If I attempt to run software from any other "working directory", the software fails. Under SUS93, I figured out how to create a "drive J" in wine (using ln -s), but I don't know how to make "J" the current/working drive/directory before invoking the DOS app. Any ideas how to properly invoke this app under Linux? You might be better off to use either DOSEMU or DOSBOX for regular DOS

programs. The setup is very simple. Nearly every DOS program will run under
these. Both Dosbox and DOSEmu are included with SuSE 9.3. I checked the
documentation and it is simple to set up different drives.
This is DOSEMU:
C:\>lredir j: LINUX\Fs\tmp
J: = LINUX\FS\TMP attrib = READ/WRITE
C:\>j:
J:\>dir
Volume in drive J is /tmp
