Both of these sound a bit hacky but are worth knowing about. The
DOSemu one is just like a network redirector, and was fast and simple
and had no particular gotchas.

For me, though, the other big appeal of DOSemu is full native
execution speed. I don't want or need the weight of an emulator or
soundcard support or anything. It was just a way to work with my old
DOS apps on a modern computer as part of my modern OS.

These workarounds all sound more complex and more fiddly to me... or
is it just me?
