Does anyone know of a DOS (ala IBM PC) emulator that permits DOS applications to be run on UNIX systems (either BSD or Sys V)? I am specifically interested inapproaches for running Microsoft Word and Excel on UNIX. I am assuming that the users have no mouse interface available so the DOS versions or Word and Excel are probably more practical for this purpose than the Mac versions would be.

Any info and ideas are appreciated.
