I disagree here I'm afraid. So here's my 10 cents worth.

Having dos emulation has made life considerably easier for me in that 
I have to run Turbo Pascal to do home-work in one of my courses that I'm 
studying. I don't have to reboot every time I want to do some 
home-work. :-)

I suppose that depends on what you want to do with with the emulator. 
I'm trying to move away from Windoze applications so wine/wabi isn't MY 
cup of tea but I think that each emulator is useful in it's own way. 

What do (or did) you want to use doscmd for?

Cheers, Joel...
