Is DOS/4G compatible with Linux DOS emulation?

0

Although we do not currently QA any of our products against the Linux DOSEMU package, and cannot promise that it will work, we have been following the DOSEMU development. It appears that most programs built with the DOS/4G family extenders do, in fact run under Linux, particularly with versions of DOSEMU of .60 or later. A number of different games, including DOOM, which are built with DOS/4G, are on the ‘success’ list of DOSEMU. It appears that DOSEMU provides a good DPMI host, and that’s all DOS/4G needs to work successfully. There may be other DOS and/or BIOS and/or hardware features that are not supported under DOSEMU, so your application may not work, but the DOS/4G family of products seem to work very well.
