I found this page: http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/dosemu.html which tells how to set up the dosemu stuff...
The program I'm trying to run (a dos game named "starball") still doesn't work - maybe because of the lack of support for sound. If anybody can tell me how to make sound work I'd like that - otherwise..
