Hm. I do. How about installing OS/2? (2.1 will do, 3.0 is nicer though.)
There are emacs and ispell (and most other unix stuff) available on the
standard os2-ftp sites, and they work well. OS/2 is not so far away from
DOS in some respects that it could be a problem to get used to, and it is
so very far ahead of DOS that it will be a problem causing withdrawal
symptoms to be without it ... :-) Linux is nice though, too.
If your restriction is less the UNIX threshold seen by some but more the
hardware you may be bound to DOG, as os/2 and linux run equally nicely on
about the same kind of machine.  Stefan
