Wine has rudimentary support for DOS, but does not really attempt to
facilitate using pure DOS applications like Duke3D. It's more useful
for small Win32 Console Applications. 

For pure DOS games, please use DOSemu. It's mature and even has a
free DOS coming with its package, though you can easily use MS-DOS
or similar. The only thing I couldn't get to work was its
Soundblaster emulation.
