  emulpc that apparently was designed for ms-dos and requires a
  dos executable to be launched on the pc.


  Internal items are also provided in the main starting menu
  such has tools and configuration.

  I first tried to use emulpc which seemed the most natural to
  me but in fact jaws should be selected.

  Yes next time I'll be in front of this machine I'll explore
  completly these internal menus. Don't put any hope on the
  documentation since it is very minimal !
