DOSEMU and DOSBOX are free and have been part of linux for a long time, 
and they are very light weight. VMWare is excellent if you want to run 
a full copy of Windows, but it is overkill for a single DOS 
application. I've used DOSEMU to run Word Perfect for DOS. Ubuntu 
should have both in their archives. I'll check Ubuntu when I turn my 
laptop on at Work.
