It might not be that trivial. While it's true that it uses DOSBox (and 
mounts all Wine drives besides Z) there is also some stuff going on 
which is currently hidden behind an external function 
"__wine_load_dos_exe" which I yet need to find and which is the one 
responsible of loading the binary into DOSBox somehow (and this is the 
interesting part!). Also one might need to test whether Win 3.11 
applications work in Wine. If so then it might indeed be interesting to 
investigate this further.
