Not really. But if you want a DOS emulator, use dosemu. Spent more effort
getting Windows programs to run in WINE ;)

|INT 21 - DOS 1+ - OPEN FILE USING FCB
|        AH = 0Fh
|        DS:DX -> unopened File Control Block (see #01345,#01346)
|Return: AL = status
|            00h successful
|            FFh file not found or access denied
|Notes:  (DOS 3.1+) file opened for read/write in compatibility mode
|        an unopened FCB has the drive, filename, and extension fields filled
|          in and all other bytes cleared
|        not supported by MS Windows 3.0 DOSX.EXE DOS extender
|        DR DOS checks password attached with AX=4303h
|        (FAT32 drive) this function will only succeed for creating a volume
|          label; FAT32 does not support FCBs for file I/O
