3.5. Can I run DOS binaries under FreeBSD?
Not yet! We'd like to add support for this someday, but are
still lacking anyone to actually do the work. Ongoing work with
Linux's DOSEMU
utility may bring this much closer to being a
reality sometime soon. Send mail to
The FreeBSD hackers list
if you're interested in joining this effort!
However, there is a neat utility called ``pcemu
'' in the
ports collection which emulates an 8088 and enough BIOS services
to run DOS text mode applications. It requires the X Window
System (provided as XFree86 3.1.2).
