I actually helped someone recently convert their Win95 Server (yes, I said
"server" - that was the OS they were using) to RH 8.0. One of the freebies we
got was running their DOS based FoxPro application in DOSEMU through SSH sessions.
Everyone is pretty happy with all the magic we've been able to pull with the new
system... We're looking at possible Xterms to replace the workstations in some
areas next...
How cool is that?? hehehe...
So YES! There is someone out there using DOSEMU in a newly orchestrated environment.

neither the freedos, nor the ms-dos 6.22 attrib commands set the hidden
attribute. They appear to work but the file does not hide and the
attribute is not set upon checking. The read only one works.
By the way, I've got dosemu running with ws, quattro-pro, mouse, foxpro,
and various utilities. what a rush! I will put together a list of what I
did (head sore from banging against brick wall) for others to benefit from.

Yes and the same is true for system attributes. There simply isn't a nice
Linux equivalent. If a Linux file starts with a dot then the DOS in DOSEMU
will see it as mangled and hidden but renaming a file upon setting an
attribute would be a bit of a stretch. It also wouldn't work on Linux
mounted FAT partitions.
Archive bits are emulated through the Linux executable bit. Also a little
funny but not a big deal.
