WinOS2 not an emulator per say, it's based on the same code that Microsoft
used in win 3.1, but patched by IBM so that it could load on top of OS/2.
Therefore, if you have a copy of it, you can also use it to load on top of
dosemu. However, remember to legally use it, you must own a copy of os/2.
Then again, you could probably find an old version of Os/2 (like 2.0)
lying around somewhere for cheap.
