hi all,
just some random thoughts and questions: #1 when running redneck rampage without DPMI, the following message is printed to the xterm: lucifer# xdos kernel CPU speed is 1300264000 Hz CPU-EMU speed is 1300 MHz Running on CPU=586, FPU=1 ERROR: general protection at 0xfadf: 66 ERROR: SIGSEGV, protected insn...exiting! shouldn't dosemu catch segmentation violations and perhaps print a more useful message? or am i missing the point and dosemu IS catching a sigsegv? #2 wouldn't it make more sense to have $DOSEMU_LIB_DIR set in dosemu.conf? this file gets included into global.conf, so the global.conf should still be able to have access to whatever the user sets $DOSEMU_LIB_DIR to. #3 is there a way of getting dos to print its version number? #4 about the howto. i don't know dosemu very well, but i sure know docbook. and i would be very good about updating it. i save all the useful messages that come across this list and would be willing to put this information into the howto. the dosemu howto is one of the shortest howtos out there. it deserves to be one of the largest. ;-) can i maintain it? it's not entirely clear who has the copyright. according to license that the howto falls under, the person who is most likely the copyright holder is david hodges. but the copy distributed with dosemu is NOT the same as the copy that's on linuxdoc.org. i think that alstair is the copyright holder of the copy distributed with dosemu. we have two nearly identical documents with the same name with different copyright holders. :-) anyway, i'd promise to be a good maintainer if this is ok with people here. i contacted david hodges who said it would be ok with him. that's about it. pete -- The mathematics [of physics] has become ever more abstract, rather than more complicated.
