   On 12/26/14, Darryl Perry pondered and said...

   Just got one for Christmas :-)

   I've been running Mystic under Windows and have not attempted Linux (yet) but   
   wanted to give it a go with the Pi, so this is all helpful info thanks..   
      
    DP> But, I  have discovered a new app called 8986tiny that is a dos emulator   
    DP> that runs freedos.... on the Raspberry Pi!   
    DP> If you run raspbian, you can simply do a 'apt-get install 8086tiny',   
    DP> then run it from anywhere as '8086tiny'   
    DP> I thought you would like to know.  Enjoy!   
      
   Cool, thanks for sharing Darryl. I may yet pick your brains a bit (if that's   
   ok) as I try and set up a test system on the Pi.   
      
   Cheers, Paul
