K0EMT (a local, to me) reports:

   This weekend I set up DOSEMU (DOS Emulator) on Linux with
   MS-DOS 4.01 (ick) and was able to successfully run TR-LOG
   (as well as POST).

I queried as to whether the speed seemed to suffer:

   Yes, it did. I ran it under the X windowing system w/KDE
   (the GUI) and speed wasn't really an issue at all.

Maybe this'll help someone.. somewhere.
