I'm wondering for another reason relative to running other than MAX DOS
applications in WIN or LINUX, thus the additional question here.  Which
might be related to this for MAX as well.

Is there a difference between DOSEMU in LINUX and the, in theory,utility
called DOSBOX which is supposed to be a 'standardized' way to work with DOS
on everything from OS/2 to LINUX to UNIX to WINwhatever to BEA and so on?

If DOSBOX is a different took than DOSEMU and DOSEMU isn't directly being
worked on for WINwhatever and so on, then some of the expected issues
relative to comm port use, old-time IRQ management, printing needs and file
name/directory coordination might get solved faster and better, whatever
that means, on an application development group effort than spans multiple
O/S needs.

Thoughts and help here, anyone?
