I need some of my DOS programs running under DOSEMU/XDOSEMU to be able
to spawn other programs.  Normally these will be Linux programs
obviously.

Is there any way that DOSEMU can directly open up a shell outside of
DOSEMU??

Otherwise, I will need the DOS program to write some sort of magic file
somewhere, and have a Linux daemon running that can act when it sees the
file, etc.  That seems awkward (and I don't know if any such daemon
exists).
