There is an application out there called DOSBOX that runs under Windows (and
other OSes) that will supply the user with a DOS session to run DOS programs
in.  It should continue to work (I think) once Windows totally stops
supporting 16-bit DOS apps.  I am not sure if it is an emulator, or if it
provides an actual DOS session as I have never used it.  But I know there are
a few developers out there that are attempting to extend the life of old DOS
programs by using DOSBOX under Windows XP & Vista.
