[Wine] install a DOS application with wine

[Franz]

Hi

I have a relatively small executable (and also the source code) for an 
experimental data logging application which was written to be used with 
DOS in the middle ages of earth.

I tried to install it using wine.
Wine simply hangs after the second line - no return to prompt - see below:

user at Laptop:~$ wine '/home/user/Desktop/Pocket.exe'
Warning: unprotecting memory to allow real-mode calls.
         NULL pointer accesses will no longer be caught.

Is it possible to use wine for this purpose ? Can anyone help me, please ?

Franz
