Hi-

    I have a couple users who rely on old niche DOS programs, for example 
MALL MANAGER which keeps the books for a collectibles mall. They tend to 
have a common opinion that their biz computers shouldn't ever go online. So 
they are running on top of W98 in very obsolete machines with =
many problems in a net-addicted world.

    Just wondering if DOSEMU would be able to support these 'mature' text 
only database programs, using one of the less demanding Linux distros; or am 
I misunderstanding what DOSEMU is for? (I'm very happy =
with Puppy, which now reads/writes to NTFS & FAT.)

                                                    thanks for your time, 
Tom Hall in Michigan
