DosEmu?

[Janina Sajka]

Yes, there is a way to run vocal-eyes, but I don't remember the details. It is documented in the dosemu docs as to how one  creates and runs a custom image with whatever you need loaded via autoexec.bat. 

As I recall from five years (or so) ago, when folks on the blinux list where doing this, though, there was a funky artifact such that the dosemu screen was only 79 chars wide. So, you might also want to search the blinux archive from the 1990's for info.
