A DOS emulation program.

Absolutely essential for emulating DOS not just within Windows or a traditional Linux environment, but within ARM/Linux as well, for palmtops and phones.

For games I’ve played via it, see /tag/dosbox-games (although the tag is new and not populated well)

A straightforward mirroring tool, with scheduling, exclusion and other useful features.

Instead of fucking around with some sort of special utility, Karen’s Replicator just does the job. I believe this was my first introduction to her software.
