Another free alternative is QEMU, which should be available (and probably

I don't see them as being the same thing at all.
QEMU is a VM. Sure you can run DOS but you can run any OS under a VM.
The point of DOSemu is that it runs DOS like a program under Linux.
It's not a VM and it doesn't work like a VM.
Yeah, and this is exactly what I need. Because I use a screen reader,
using a bare metal system (or a hypervisor type starting process), means
I won't get the host os infrastructure, which means no screen reader
unless I install one from scratch on the system itself. I (currently)
don't have any way to do this on self-contained oses which are protected
from the host environment. Thus the dosemu path, since (interestingly
enough) WSL allows me to use my windows screen reader (NVDA) to read the
linux output, which in turn (I'd guess) would allow me to also view the
dos output.
