As a newcomer to this list, let me first say that DOSEMU is an amazing achievement. VMware costs a huge sum and doesn't support VESA graphics, and runs slowly. DOSEMU runs at top speed, supports VESA graphics, and is amazingly flexible. Many thanks to everyone who helped put to together.
Two questions (I'm running 1.0.2.1 under Red Hat Linux 7.2, with MS-DOS 6.22 as the DOS version): To run WordPerfect for DOS, I wanted the Number Pad Plus and Minus keys to work they work under ordinary DOS. By commenting out the $_X_keycode = (off) line in doemurc, I was able to get the number pad plus and minus keys to work properly - but only if I toggled on the NumLock key before starting DOSEMU. In other words, the NumLock key seems to produce the opposite effect of the one it should have - with NumLock OFF, the Plus and Minus keys produced plus and minus signs; with NumLock ON, they scrolled up and down one screen in WPDOS. Is this a bug? (I reported as one to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but maybe I'm just misunderstanding something in the configuration). Second, I'm having a lot of trouble getting DOSEMU to work well in an ordinary terminal (./dosemu, not ./xdosemu) or in the console. In a terminal, WPDOS tends to lock up quickly, or the function keys seem not to work at all. In the console, the unshifted function keys work well, but Shift-F1 gets interpreted by WPDOS as Shift-F3, Shift-F2 gets interpreted as Shift-F4, etc. The Alt- and Ctrl- function keys seem not to work as expected at all. Also, in the console, I can't figure out how to tell DOSEMU to use the box drawing characters in hardware instead of the replacment characters that get used instead. Is there a fix for this? Finally, I've experienced the same bug reported elsewhere on this list in which DOSEMU shuts down after giving one or two commands, and I hope someday it becomes possible to use hardware graphics as an ordinary user, not as root. Thanks again for any advice, and for a splendid program.
