Running DOS screen access software under Linux

["T. V. Raman" <raman@Adobe.COM>]

Believe it or not the following actually worked --I tried it for kicks about a
year and a half ago.

With emacspeak running, I brought up an eterm (terminal inside emacs) with M-x
term,
ran dosemu in that terminal and it worked.

Next, I turned off emacspeak's speech in that terminal buffer,
and launched vocal eyes that I had installed on dos. And it worked just fine.

The only problem with doing this from inside an emacs terminal is that that
terminal has only 79 columns, and most dos programs have 80 columns hard-wired
in them.

Conclusion: from a linux console window you should be able to run dosemu and
any dos screenreader with no difficulty.
