What options are available for running DOS on a system that does not have an x86 processor, like a PowerPC Macintosh?
The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to run one of the "lint" products from Gimpel Software (http://www.gimpel.com/). If I buy FlexeLint, it comes as obfuscated C code, and I could compile it on anything, but FlexeLint is expensive ($998). PC-Lint is more affordable at $239, but only runs on DOS and Windows. I know I could run dosemu on my x86 systems. But I also use Linux on PowerPC, and it would be nice to be able to run it there too. The one possible solution I know of is bochs, but I'm concerned that emulating the whole machine at such a low level in software may be very slow. What would be better is a dos execution environment that only needed to support normal user applications, but that came with an x86 CPU emulator in software. I've never used bochs so maybe it would suit me, I don't know. I would be happy if there were free software that could do what Gimpel Software's products do, but I don't think there is. gcc does a certain amount of lint-like diagnostics, but not nearly so extensive.
