In 64-bit mode, the processor can't run realmode or 16-bit dpmi applications, so dosemu has to emulate the binary programcode. If you have got an diskimage with an window on it, you could run that image in kvm. On my machine, clipper code with many accesses to disk is much faster when run with kvm than in dosemu. The other option would by to run a 32-bit linux, perhaps from a life cd. Reinhard
