[Novalug] how to run a WIndows XP program under Linux (Ubuntu 11.10 specifically)

List,

I'm trying to get a canned program to analyze radioactivity data
to work on my linux computer. The program is called Hypermet:
its features can be seen on

http://www.iki.kfki.hu/nuclear/hypc/

It runs under MS-DOS 6.x, Windows 3, Windows 95, and to some extent under
Windows XP, but not under more modern Windowses (NT4, 2000, Vista, etc.)

The person who maintains the program (at the bottom of the page)
recommends running this program under 'dosbox'. I got this program,
but I can't get it to work (it comes up, and then crashes without
any indication what it doesn't like (that I saw)).

Can you recommend alternatives? Dosbox seems to be made for gamers,
with many nice sound and graphics and joystick options that this
program should not need.

Thank you,

Nino
