I run a checking program in either booted DOS or a DOS window under Windows 98SE.
When I ran the program in dosemu the screen is all scrambled and only occupies the top 1/3 of the screen although it's full from side to side. Normally I would get a box with blue blocks and lines as a background for white letters. There is also a red box inside with white on red and black on white letters. The colors come out properly but the lines of text are offset horizontally all over the screen. It's impossible to read. The prompt should be at the date box in the red box asking user to press ENTER. Instead it's way off somewhere. If I know the screen I can press ENTER 3 times and get past a date, time and "are you sure" prompt to get into the program. It does this but you can't tell where you are because the screen is so scrambled. After I get to the standard working screen which has the usual menu at the top starting with File, etc the pull down menus are all over the screen. Basically the menu items which are in white lettering on blue blocks are not lined up below the menu item but scattered across the width of the screen. They are in the proper order however. This is as far as I have gone so far. It seems to work ok except for the screen which makes it difficult to navigate. As it's a banking program I don't want to screw up so I have been running two copies on different computers - one in dosemu and the other on a Windows 98SE computer to see where I am! I am running under a framebuffer. I've searched dejanews with the search string "dosemu screen". One person says some people use nnansi.com under X windows but I'm not in X and I'm not sure that I use ansi in normal dos. I've gone through several hundred messages so far - and continuing ... In dosemu.conf I have: term_char_set = "" Should this be IBM? term_color = "on" layout = "auto" video = "vga" console = (0) graphics = (0) maybe change this one? chipset = "" I have an ATI Rage Fury 2C In /etc/lilo.conf I have vga=normal. I'm just a little afraid to go blindly mucking about with the settings in dosemu.conf. Some advice would help a lot.
