The problem I was getting at with "virtual" MS-DOS emulators, even in a UNIX
environment is how do you use the "virtual" MS-DOS devices?  Can I delete
your files (MS-DOS doesn't allow for protection) - can I read them?  What
about things like screen writes?  There is a BIG difference between PC
compatibility and MS-DOS compatibility, a and many PC programs are PC
specific (or would be slower or have other problems).  PC Ditto is useful
mainly because it is 98% PC compatible - I can boot games directly.  Can
I stick Flight Simulator into the '386 UNIX box and have it run properly?
     My main point is that having a multitasking system with all it's
protection is one thing - as soon as you try emulating a nonprotected,
nonmultitasking environment you must trade off compatibility for other
features.  It can be done - just not that simply, and not without tradeoffs.
