DOS window in Linux Mint?
1
Is there any way to open an MS-DOS window in Linux Mint 19.1, that is similar to Windows?
I know how to run terminal. I want to run a DOS window such that I can run a DOS based lisp application. Ideally, I want to have several DOS windows open at one time, and I want to be able to resize them as needed

What do you mean with "DOS window"? A terminal window? A DOS emulation? How do you open this window? What exactly does not work when you want to resize the window or how does it differ from what you expect?

You can run DOS programs via Wine, see winehq.org

Yes but the functionality is split: For the terminal emulator, you can choose one of the many. Then for the DOS interpreter there is wine, or dosbox, or … You can launch these frombash.

I have removed bits of the question, that make is seem to be about terminal emulators.
