DOSEMU (DOS Emulation) is a free and open-source software application that allows users to run MS-DOS programs on Linux and other operating systems. It includes an emulation of the Intel 8088 and 8086 processors, support for the DOS and BIOS interrupts, and the ability to run DOS programs in the background. DOSEMU also provides support for various DOS-specific hardware devices, such as hard disks, CD-ROMs, and sound cards, and provides the ability to run Windows 3.1 and other Windows applications. It also provides support for DOS-specific networking protocols, such as NetBEUI and IPX/SPX. DOSEMU is a popular choice for running legacy DOS software, and can also be used to run programs written in other languages, such as BASIC, C, and assembly.
