Hi!
First of, i using/experimenting with Dosemu 1.1.3.2 and are having
problem when trying to view files with other characters than english.
I use the following software:
Linux RedHat 7.3 (default kernel)
MSDOS 6.22 (clean installation, not mounted, just copied to Linux FS)
Dosemu 1.1.3.2 (Development)
Putty (for remote access)
I have played with dosemu.conf until my head hurt just to make my
language specific characters show, instead the files are named with odd
characters.
However, i have no problem writing text or otherwise using langage
specific keys on my keyboard, it�s just when i create files the problem
occcurs (to my knowledge).
The same problem seemes to occur when i am trying to view files, created
outside dosemu with langage specific characters (and files created
inside dosemu/msdos6.22)
The questions i�m trying to answer is: Is it possible to have swedish
character support in dosemu? Can i successfully run MSDOS 6.22 under
Dosemu (with swedish language support)? Isn�t there anyone else that has
this problem with langage specific characters in filesystem? (i have
looked through linux-msdos mailinglists for to days now) Is it my setup
that is totally wrong regarding MSDOS 6.22?
And so on....
What i really trying to aim at here is simple, i have Foxpro2.5 and some
applications that rely on Foxpro, this works, in fact rather
excellent... BUT, i cant use ANY files that have langage specific
characters in the filename... :(
I just want MSDOS to see the filenames correctly... thats it. (well, i
actually want to WRITE files to files too)
Well, i hope someone have the strength to bare with me, and hopefully
give me some pointers to what might be wrong with this picture... I
can�t be the first swede who has tried to use Dosemu, can i?
Here is a directory listing from MSDOS
--------------------------------------
C:\>dir
Volume in drive C is osemu/msdos
Directory of C:\
BOOT BLK 512 02-07-29 10.54
DOSEMU <DIR> 02-07-29 14.02
AUTOEXEC BAT 273 02-08-02 8.18
COMMAND COM 54 645 02-07-29 11.09
CONFIG SYS 206 02-08-02 8.24
IO SYS 40 774 02-07-29 11.09
MSDOS SYS 38 138 02-07-29 11.09
WINA20 386 9 349 02-07-29 11.09
DOS <DIR> 02-08-01 14.59
��� TXT 0 02-08-01 16.21
10 file(s) 143 897 bytes
416 186 368 bytes free
--------------------------------------
The file ���.txt is actually a file called ���.txt (dont know if you see
this correctly in your mailapp) the file was created outside Dosemu, and
if i try to create a similar file inside Dosemu/MSDOS6.22, it�s also
displayed with garbage characters, both in Dosemu/MSDOS6.22 and after i
exit Dosemu/MSDOS6.22.
Heres some thoughts about dosemu.conf:
$_term_char_set = "latin1"
# Should be set to latin1, ibm doesn�t work very good, automatic seemes
to work however.
$_external_char_set = "iso8859-1"
# Should be set to this, works also with auto... can also be set to
cp850, but that does confuse me a bit... both are right, wich should i
choose..!?
$_internal_char_set = "cp850"
# Well, have tried cp437, with bad result, the above seemes to be the
way to go.
$_rawkeyboard = (0)
# Have tried on and off.. no difference.
$_layout = "auto"
# well, isn�t this confusing, wheres the explanation which mapping
concurs to which language...!? Well, auto works, so is finnish.. but i�m
curios, what is "sw", is it "swedish"
I couldn�t find any more settings regarding the issue at hand.
Heres my config.sys
--------------------------------------
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
rem DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS

# As a comment to the above, i HAVE tried to disable all MSDOS settings
in both config.sys and autoexec.bat regarding keyboard and/or langage i
varios setups, without any luck.
This is my boot.log
