 I was just having problems getting one game in particular to work - Esterian
Conquest and wanted to try Win32, and asked a few people how to do it. I did
end up getting it to work under Ubuntu/dosemu2 with i think the same drop in
bundle that you mentioned. Its all working well now under linux, but just for
my own education, i posted about how to do it under win32. Ive gotten it to
work on windows 10 - 32bit and ntvdm, but it seems a little buggy so i gave
that effort up.
