It is 16 bit DOS application - it ran on an old PC with MS-DOS and
(unactivated at the moment) Windows 3.11.

2. linux-il_at_amos.mailshell.com, Shachar Shemesh, Tzafrir Cohen, Micha
Feigin suggested that I use dosemu, xdosemu, dosbox.

Well, there seems to be no dosemu or variants in RedHat 8.0.
However, http://www.dosemu.org/ has dosemu-1.2.1-1.src.rpm, and I'll try it.

I'll check and hope to find between the lines an hint to the secret of
running Hebrew in emulation of MS-DOS.
