Wednesday January 11th <br> 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. <a href="mailto:randy.sparks4@gmail.com">randy.sparks4@gmail.com</a> I live in Terre Haute<br>

I've used it, in the past, to re-live old video games under Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
I imagine it might do the job for less video/audio intensive applications.<br>
