Finally installed Wine but there are problems

[Alex Snow]

I ran dos under bochs once to see if I could use an old dos image util 
to write some xenix disk images to floppy, to later install under 
bochs using the curses display.  Other then the fact that the image 
program had troulble writing to the floppy (understandable), bochs was 
so slow that when I would push enter at the dos prompt, it'd take 
around 5 seconds or more to give me another prompt.  I have never seen 
dos run that slow, even on old 386 machines.
