Roberto,

There is also something called "dosemu" under Linux which allows text-based
DOS programs to run at *full* speed -- the binary does not get "interpreted"
in any way. Simply the DOS system calls and I/O read/writes are redirected in
a clever and very efficient way by exploiting the capabilities of memory
protection by means of a decent MMU.
