Re: [orca-list] talking dosbox in wine?

[Tony Baechler <tony baechler net>]

Why?  You can install dosemu and run them directly from an emulated DOS, so 
why bother with a Windows emulation of a DOS emulation?  Speakup and Orca 
should be able to read dosemu from a terminal.  Also, dosbox already exists 
for Linux, so wine would be a waste of time.  Finally, wine doesn't work 
with any screen reader in Windows, so other than for self-voicing Windows 
games, it's useless, at least from my understanding.  I would just install 
dosemu if you have hardware speech or dosbox if you don't.  You'll have to 
reconfigure dosbox since Linux doesn't use COMx for serial ports.
