   I can't argue with you there, although I've generally had good luck.

   If the DOSBox angle doesn't work out, you might consider VMWare.  It   
   shouldn't be too difficult to get a DOS environment up and running   
   under one of the free VMWare offerings.  It may be that it will be   
   more stable than the current state of DOSBox.
