Either: * use xdosemu. And make sure that your window manager doesn't steal the keys. Sometimes shift+key helps. or * in dosemu use ctrl-^ s to simulate shift. Press ctrl-^ h for help * try 1.2.0rc1 (aka 1.1.99.1) and run with the -k option on the console (or set $_rawkeyboard = (1)). In 1.0.2.1 this only works with root privileges. > 2) More seriously, I can not manage to get the dos apps to see the printer. > Printing is set up (CUPS), and the 'lp' command works from linux.

If you download 1.2.0rc1 you'll have to copy the global.conf example file, change it there and then specify it explicitly like in ./dosemu -f conf/global.conf There will be a more comfortable solution in 1.2.0 final. > 3) And finally, COM1 seems to be invisible. $_com1 is set to /dev/ttyS0, but > no luck. 1.0.2.1 is only able to access COM1 as root because otherwise it cannot create lock files. This problem is fixed in 1.2.0rc1 -- just make sure you have permissions to create a file in /var/lock and r/w access to /dev/ttyS0. In short: please try 1.2.0rc1 -- more feedback is always welcome ...
