Emu2 is a x86 and MS-DOS emulator that runs in a Linux terminal. Launching an MS-DOS program from the Linux shell is as simple as executing emu2 myprog.exe.

It reminds me of this CP/M emulator with a similar approach. For example, to run WordStar from the Linux shell execute cpm ws.

Brings back memories. I wrote my first novel on CP/M Wordstar, using a Kaypro 4. Possibly my first published short-story as well. (My first non-fiction sale was done on a Typewriter. That was back in Apple 1 days, and I was poor.

@jstevenyork WordStar was quite capable even on those limited systems.
