DOS Lotus Agenda, under Linux

Running Agenda on my DOS netbook isn't convenient, but necessary since both my desktop and laptop machines are running Ubuntu.

But I still need and use Agenda.   It provides both a model for the new application I'm building, and my organizer for ideas, todo lists, etc.

So I looked into the 'Ubuntu Software Center' on my laptop (a friendly wrapper for apt-get, the Linux utility that installs software applications from the internet).  Sure enough, two different DOS emulators waiting to be tried.

A few clicks later, I had a virtual DOS 'C' directory, and copied in the Agenda files from the netbook.  And I'm up and running.
