Just a stupid question.
If you attempt to run v6 under DOS, why don't you go after 32bit-OS/2. Oracle has a 32-bit-port available for it - and it works truly like a charm. You can even work on the same machine very much like on a Unix-box.

P.S.: The CLI of OS/2 knows exactly the same commands as DOS does, so no reason
to be afraid of.
