This is true, EMX is still fully functional if you happen to have a copy of DOS 6.22 or 
earlier laying around. However most people don't and I get a lot of email asking me for 
support with EMX, to which the typical answer is you must be running DOS 6.22 or 
earlier, and the response, well where can I get a copy of that...

If we can figure out a way to make OS disks on modern computers that would be a great 
gift. I'm really surprised that no one on this list programs at a level that would allow them 
to take the source code of EMX and make it work on Win98 and newer machines. Of 
course the only thing I can program is my Commodore 64 and that's if I have a book 
next to me with the code already typed out .. LOL
