-Bochs is a portable x86 PC emulation software package that emulates
-enough of the x86 CPU, related AT hardware, and BIOS to run DOS,
-Windows '95, Minix 2.0, and other OS's, all on your workstation.
+Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in
+C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the
+Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently, bochs can
+be compiled to emulate a 386, 486 or Pentium CPU.

+including Linux, Windows 95, DOS, and Windows NT 4.
