Yes, I'll agree on that door. I haven't tried to set it up myself but
certainly have seen where others say it doesn't work with dosemu. Not a
huge deal for me, anyway.

Yes, NTVDM (which MRO even mentioned he uses, LOL) is indeed a DOS
emulator for Windows. Hahahaha, and yet he whines about emulating
things in Linux. He's a know-it-all, and doesn't like getting called
out on his bullshit. ;-)
