Re: how can i run dos!

Hi

I use dos for ham radio programs, From Synaptic get freedos, dosemu or dosbox.

Open terminal type dosemu, you files you need to run should be placed on "drive C" in hidden file .dos

Use usual dos commands to navigate to drive C

Hope it works for games

I use dosbox for some work related dos programmes and it runs them without a hitch!
I think it was intended for games, however i've never tried any games in it.
