Hello:
I have an old (and big) applications program I wrote for DOS a *long* time
ago. I would like to port it over to Linux, and as I lost the sources a
few years ago (hard drive crash and no backups ... heh!), I will have to
do it based on its "look & feel" (and my fading memories).
Anyway, I haven't booted into Win95 for several weeks, and I'm not about
to start now. I thought maybe 'dosemu' could do the trick. I've got
'dosemu-0.98.1-2' installed (came included with RH 5.2), and tried it out
with a Win95 floppy image. I couldn't believe it when I saw my DOS
application running under Linux. Kewl! :-)
Only thing is, it was considered a "clever" thing to do back in those days
to write directly to the hardware in order to speed up display access. So
I wrote and used my own display API. Trouble is, under dosemu various
items are displayed all over the place, rendering the application almost
useless. I guess, in retrospect, that practice was pretty idiotic. :-(
I've tried a variety of different settings to try to clear this up, but so
far I haven't had any luck.
Cheers...
P.S. Pointers to newer binary RPM's of dosemu, if they would help solve
this problem, would be greatly appreciated.
