Does anybody know about software simulating MSDOS that will run on a UNIX machine?? I am interested in running an MSDOS session in a window, allowing me to access all the wonderful stuff (like Turbo Pascal) that is available for PC's. I would supply more information regarding what system I use, etc, but the only thing I know for sure is that it should run on either a Vaxstation II/RC or an IBM RT running some version of Unix/Ultrix. Please reply by mail. Thank you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Anders Wallgren "But why have you brought that hatchet | | arwall@athena.mit.edu with you?" | | 617-267-5270 -Siddhartha | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think you're going to find what you want. Consider that things like Turbo do all sorts of evil system-dependent things. You can buy a board from ibm for about $1000 that'll run dos on your rt. For that money you're better off buying a pc

Sun makes a PC/AT clone-on-a-card. It maps the screen into a window, and you can get the standard 1.2M floppy, or use network stuff, if my memory is correct. If what you REALLY wany to do is use some PC things in a UN*X environment, this maybe a technique. I think it's about $2500 q/1.
