Subject: MSDOS .EXE files under Linux?
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1992 19:11:38 +0900
X-Mn-Key: MSDOS
I have been using Linux for some time and am almost 'converted'. There
are still a few DOS programs that I need to run on occasion. I have
tried the dos emulator stuff, but it will only run .COM files as far as
I know.
Is there a way to run .EXE files? If not, is there any work in this
area? Thanks in advance for any pointers.

It will run .EXE files, but not from the /usr/dos (D:) pseudo-phantom
thingy partition. That is, the drive you mount with the program on his
c: disk isn't yet ready to hold .EXE files.
If you want to run .EXE files, copy them to the floppy drive or to
the C: disk (I think they run from there).
Does anyone know how to create a larger c: disk (the file-based disk)?
