Thanks Hank. I tried dosbox-x a few days ago and while it loads, it
doesn't apear to work with Orca or Speakup. Yeah, I think dosemu-2 was
the last version, but I thought it might still work. Anyway, thanks so
much for looking at it and for the suggestion. Dosbox would be perfect
is it worked with a screen reader.

I took a quick look at the Dosemu website. It hasn't been updated
since 2012. I didn't look at the source so I don't know how much
effort it would take to make a Debian package.
There is a Debian package that might already do what you are looking
for: DOSBox-X (https://dosbox-x.com/).
Hope this helps.

Hi. Would it be possible to get dosemu added to Debian? A lot of
visually impaired people myself included still use dos for various
programs and to play the old text based games. Dosemu use to work
with Speakup when I tried it several years ago and made an easy way
to get dos support in Linux. I think it was produced by freedos if I
remember correctly so as far as I know it's a free program. Anyway,
just thought I would ask about getting it included. I'm not a
programmer so I don't know how much work this would take. Thanks and
have a great day.
