   You can run (Free)Dos in a JVM:   
   http://javapc.sourceforge.net/home_home.html and that might mean it will   
   also run TP 3...   
      
   FWIW, an in-depth look at TP3, with a program to generate a disassembled   
   source can be found at http://www.pcengines.ch/tp3.htm   
      
   I might have a version disassembled with IDA Pro that actually assembles   
   with TASM, will have to spend some time finding it...
