Linux has a DOS emulator called (surprise) dosemu. I haven't taken the time to play with it, but one
fellow on the list was previously running XyWrite under it and reporting success. It is apparently
something of a technical challenge, however, to get it set up ― as with many things in Linux.
(Be warned! I've been playing with Linux for nearly three years, and still there are lots of things
difficult to understand.) Dosemu uses the FreeDOS kernel, so it truly is liberty-ware.
