Hi, yes it is. You need to get the dos emulator from
dosemu.org
Then, compile it, install it, and have a dos floppy handy.
It will copy your command.com, and other system files intot he emulator,
and then you can install and play almost any dos program you want.

Danny,
There is a great set of games that comes with Linux and runs
on a text console. On my system they are in /usr/games.

Hi, well I wouldn't try dos screen readers under dosemu, because they
never worked to well for me. However, your dos games should work fine
using dosemu.

Dos games work fine without dos screen readers. I just took my agt
games I have which I normally use agil for LInux to play and just used
agt for dos and they work nicely. I imagine that some of the msdos
compiled games should work nicely. btw I just used the binary dosemu
that is off their ftp site. didn't have to compile myself and dind't
have to be root to run.

If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are real
good, you will get out of it.
