Hi everyone,
vDOS is very nice. Unfortunately also blocked with Dir-command related issues
with my program (file dates in style 2-10-98 intead of 02-10-98). I posted a
topic on their site. I also found they not support modification of the global
Country setting (locked to 1).
About VMWARE and VMSMOUNT. I think it's nearly equivalent to what we have at
work with Microsoft VirtualPC. I didn't try sendkeys automation through this
heavier layer but I will give it a try if I cannot use vDOS and DOSBOX.
Eric, I found you are author of MODE.COM !! To set the codepage I added this in
my autoexec.bat:
DISPLAY CON=(ega,863,)
MODE CON CODEPAGE PREPARE=((863) %dosdir%\cpi\ega9.cpx)
I don't know how far I can follow you in the TSR trail to get country
informations but I'm interested to learn at least up to the next obstacle :-) I
filled the table you showed to me, if it's not taking too much of your time:
> Offset Size Description (Table 01399)
> 00h WORD date format [2 Y-M-D]
> 02h 5 BYTEs ASCIZ currency symbol string ['$'.. so I imagine it is 24h,
>00h ?]
> 07h 2 BYTEs ASCIZ thousands separator [you want this to be 20h, 00h...Yes]
> 09h 2 BYTEs ASCIZ decimal separator ['.' = 2E, 00h ?]
> 0Bh 2 BYTEs ASCIZ date separator ['-' = 2D, 00h ?]
> 0Dh 2 BYTEs ASCIZ time separator [':' = 3A, 00h ?]
> 0Fh BYTE currency format [not relevant for you? probably not, answers
>bellow]
> bit 2 = set if currency symbol replaces decimal point
[I would say No, do not replaces decimal point]
> bit 1 = number of spaces between value and currency symbol
[I would guess 1 space]
> bit 0 = 0 if currency symbol precedes value
> 1 if currency symbol follows value
[Not sure but I would guess bit 0 =1]
> 10h BYTE number of digits after decimal in currency
[not relevant? maybe not but I would say 2 digits]
> 11h BYTE time format [you say you want 24h time, so make this 1--Yes]
> bit 0 = 0 if 12-hour clock
> 1 if 24-hour clock
> 12h DWORD address of case map routine [could point to RETF opcode]
> (FAR CALL, AL = character to map to upper case [>= 80h])
> 16h 2 BYTEs ASCIZ data-list separator [not relevant? who uses this?]
> 18h 10 BYTEs reserved [so not relevant for you by definition...]
To answer your question about our old MS-DOS program: We have used it in MS-DOS
and winXP-win32 console only. It is described at
<http://www.dynatest.com/elmod>. There is not so many users since it is
addressed to a very specialized domain. Only the newer Windows version is
supported by the maker.
Thanks, Denis

Without the DOSBOX kernel, we don't have the "mount" command and we constantly
have to mount/unmount the DOS disk image from the GNU/Linux or Windows host (or
use FTP networking) to exchange data. This is tedious and the disk image gets
corrupted if simultaneously mounted or written on by the Host and the DOS.
Yes, you are completely right about that.
But please take a look at a new project: „EtherDFS“ by Mateusz
Viste.http://etherdfs.sourceforge.net
If your host is running GNU/Linux, you can start EtherSRV on the host and
EtherDFS on your DOS guest.
On the host go to the directory, that EtherSRV is mounting. Share it with Samba
to your Windows clients.
That’s it. You have now what everybody wants: A network disk in FreeDOS, shared
with everybody in your LAN, and still 618 K conventional memory free.
The only downsides, as I see it:- At the moment EtherSRV will change timestamps
of received files to the actual date and time.- On VirtualBox a guest with
EtherDFS can not reach (yet) an EtherSRV running on a machine outside the
host.- EtherSRV is running on GNU/Linux only.
