My original message follows.

All of the following were possible solutions to my
situation. Each solution has it's merits. At this
time we will most likely evaluate the DEC implementation
of Soft Windows by Insignia Solutions.

Here are the suggestions I received:

-DosMerge (Sun)
-SoftPC (Insignia Solutions)
-pcemu (freeware)
-bochs (world.std.com/~bochs)
-SunPC (Sun)
-Soft Windows (Insignia Solutions)
-Dosemu (linux)
