I've watched people do black magic with partitions and seen it done 
otherwise. I remember at some point they did a lot of registry edits
to get blunders back in it's happy place. But personally, I've only been 
able to get it to work the same way you have.

My Dad just brought me his top of the line Dell from 2 years ago..
Blunders and some crapware are fighting over his machine. He's been using
some odder software that would not work under Blunders. he bought a new
computer because he got tired of re-installing Blunders XP to fix whatever 
it was that goes wrong.

My weekend mission: Get his old DOS accounting system and WinXP geneology 
software running under DosEMU and Wine in Linux. Last month I got some old
Paradox 4.0 code running under DosEMU in Linux. So I think it'll work 
well.

Which leaves us with: Soon the question may be: Why run Windows at all?
