Yo dawg I heard you like to play DOS games on your Mac so, uh, here’s some software to do that.
Boxer plays MS-DOS games on your Mac. It’s based on the robust DOSBox emulator, with a lot of magic sprinkled on top. Run DOS programs from Finder. Wrap your games into tidy gameboxes that launch like Mac apps. Painlessly install games from CD-then bundle the CD with your game so you don’t even need it in the drive.

Not sure if this is the actual code or not, but the source code for MS-DOS 6.0 appears to be available on Google Code Search (by way of a search for “microsoft confidential”). More Google Code Search goodies here. (thx, aj)
