I have used DOSBox 7.0 to develop and test an old graphical DOS program that performs simulated evolution. I couldn't have done it without DOSBox - Thank You! See http://www.simulatedevolution.com to download the program.

This graphical program demonstrates the concept of simple evolution by an iterative process involving reproduction, mutation and natural selection, all in an interactive graphical environment that let’s you control the simulation in real time.

This particular implementation is based on a similar program first written by Michael Palmiter, Temple City, CA., as described by the article “Simulated Evolution: wherein bugs learn to hunt bacteria by A.K. Dewdney ” in Scientific American (Computer Recreations), May 1989.
