It's pretty fair to mention DOSBox as it is a multiplatform solution and its source code helped with some of our implementation it seems:
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commit;h=f5a7f66818a9d4b209be3cbddd01238f798e2057
Further it's a good idea to give the user a hint what to do if he run into this.
