Ok, triple slowness doesn't come near. It works, but at a rate of 4 seconds per frame. If anybody knows a faster DOS emulator than dosbox, I'm all ear. Because it IS looking sweat and very cosy! :-)

Grr, I can't get dosemu installed. I tried installing FreeDOS with it but dosemu keeps telling me that there is no operating system. Would you be able to give any insight into that Happy? I'm using the default dosemu location and unzipped FreeDOS so that my command.com resides in /usr/local/share/dosemu/freedos/.

Bjorn: I installed dosemu a loooong time ago. I thought I had installed from source but looking in my tarball folder I see that it was the binary release I had downloaded.

Apparently all you need to do is extract both binary releases into the same folder (as they both extract to ./dosemu). I'm not sure what you'd need to do to get the source release to work (assuming you compiled).

To be sure, I downloaded the newer versions and they seem to be working, out of the box, so to speak.

EDIT: I dunno if there are other places to get dosemu but I got my copy from their website. http://www.dosemu.org/

I have been trying a system-wide install, but even with the binaries couldn't figure it out. Extracting both to the same directory and running it worked though, thanks. So now I could enjoy this demo at 4 fps instead of 1/4 fps. :-)
