Oh, yet another thing. I found some senf-extracting packages of DOS games from the web but these packages would not extract in Dosbox. It said that they should be run under windows. Are these some winzip packages or what? Any way of extracting then in Dosbox or in linux?

Wine handles them fine.
just do a wine nameofarchive.exe

for the floppy thing try pressing ctrl-f4

If the self-extracting files are of zip format the command "unzip" can also handle them.
It might not hurt to see if they are in zip format and what's in them by trying "unzip -l FILENAME" first.
