[ubuntu-us-in] Local support

[Randy Sparks]

Wednesday January 11th
       In answer to your problem you can also run Virtual Box in Ubuntu and
install your application under dos in Virtual Box whatever you do you just
can not run your application at the same time as Ubuntu unless you use
virtual box you could start up the dos system in Virtual bos load this dos
application then minimize virtual box to the task bar in Ubuntu and
maximize when you need to run it that is easy to do hope this helps.
