How can I get Geos to run under Linux?
Obtain and figure out the shareware DOS emulator DosEmu.

The important thing is that DOSEMU must have full partition access (or even full disk access) to whatever partition contains Geos. You can’t give partition access to a mounted partition, so you may have to unmount the DOS partition before running DOSEMU. Of course, you could write a script that does this automatically.” Ross J.

This allows me to leave my DOS partition mounted, and access files safely from both Geos and Linux. I can even access all my Linux files (with mangled names, however, if they’re not 8.3). The trick was to grep though my SDK documentation and discover the msnet.
