I've installed dosemu-0.98 on my linux system. The machine's hard drives
are set up as follows:
/dev/hda1 win95
/dev/hdb1 dos7 (IBM PC-DOS 7)
/dev/hdc1 linux
In /etc/dosemu.conf, I have the drive images set so that hd_first,
/dev/hdb1 and /dev/hda1 are seen in that order. When I type `dos -C', I'm at
a C: prompt, but the command processor cannot be found. When I enter
`d:\4dos.com', up comes the c: prompt and I'm in (apparently) a freedos c:
drive. My dos programs are on d:.
There are two programs I want to run because I've not found linux
replacements for them. The first is the PIM called InfoSelect (which I've
used since 1985) and it is critical to me. It is a text-based management
system which has worked flawlessly all these years. It runs nicely under
doesmu.
The other program I want to run is my personal accounting software,
MoneyCounts 6.5. When I try to run this, however, the attempt fails with the
following error message:
Program unable to start.
Files = 20 missing from config.sys on boot disk.
See error code 4 in manual.
I'm puzzled. My real DOS partition has config.sys set up with files=50,
and with the shell command pointing to d:\4dos.com. Obviously dosemu isn't
seeing it. I have been through the documentation several times and I cannot
see what I need to change.
I'd like to be able to use the config.sys and autoexec.bat on the d: drive
(/dev/hdb1) and I'd like to try to access the two windows programs I still
need which are on /dev/hda1.
Have I explained the problem well enough for someone more experienced than
I to tell me what I need to modify? If not, ask questions and I'll provide
the answers. :-)
Thanks in advance,
