Just easy. I've had some problems trying to run PS2 for TP 760 under MS-DOS
5.0, but under IBM DOS (PC-DOS) it works fine.

There are several ways to go - you can unpack downloaded self-extract
archive on other machine, or you can install dosemu (with real DOS inside,
not supplied freedos).

I'm not sure that it is possible to actually run PS2 under Dosemu, becouse
it wants access to thinkpad-specific hardware, but it is surely possible
to make a system diskette and copy PS2.EXE there.
