As someone who does most things wrong more often than he does
them right, I have acquired a certain expertise in Error messages. That
is not a Microsoft message, and very probably not a dosemu or linux one.
That leaves TAS books.
Have you tried
1. Booting Dos, reading the batch file loading up TAS books
(books.bat?) and hiding each file mentioned in turn to see if you can
get that error
2. Have you tried a Ramdisk. On one slow old 486 with 8 Megs I was using
for something similar, I used to load a ramdisk in config.sys of 4
Megs, and copy up over 3 Megs into it in autoexec.bat. Bootups were
tea break time :). I could run fine and fast then, and save down
whenever I got worried. I also inserted a savedown in the batch file
starting me up, just in case. TAS books was always slow without some
attention to disk writes.

Subject: Dropped network connection
I started running DOSEMU with IPX support for use with an accounting
package. It connects to the server using VLM. After some time of
inactivity (30 mins??), the network connection is lost and the program
gets Error Reading device network. Abort Retry or Fail. This machine is
connecting to a Netware 3.11 server, and I get the same when connecting
to a Mars-NWE server. Is there something that could fix this?
Thanks.
P.S. Dosemu rocks!

Subject: Clipper program abnormally terminates DOSEMU on exiting
<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>On May 31 we posted a help request about</color> a
financial accounting
program called Abacus II (version 4.8) we were attempting to run
under DOSEMU. Abacus II is a multi-user database program
written in Clipper.
We had the main executable recompiled in protected mode, and
that seemed to do the trick... we can now run the Abacus II
program under DOSEMU.
However, when Abacus II exits, it causes DOSEMU to terminate
abnormally, with the following messages displayed:
ERROR: HLT requested: lina=0x4!
ERROR: HLT requested: lina=0x10!
ERROR: general protection at 0x4e700: 0
ERROR: SIGSEGV, protected insn... exiting!
We could live with this problem, except that it leaves the user
logged in to Abacus II still logged in when the application exits.
Consequently, we must go into Abacus II as another (privileged)
user and reset the network flags (logging out the abnormally-
terminated user) before the same user can log back in again.
Abacus II is using DPMI memory to run under DOSEMU.
Unfortunately there is no other way to do it, since Abacus II
requires either VCPI, DPMI or XMS, and it will not recognize the
DOSEMU XMS manager.
We are now running DOSEMU 0.98.7 under Red Hat Linux 5.1
(Linux kernel 2.0.34).
Any help you can provide in solving this abnormal termination
problem will be most appreciated.

Subject: bootdir works in dosemu-0.98.6 under Debian but not RedHat 5.2 ?
I have dosemu-0.98.6 at home and at work (Linux version 2.0.36 on both
machines). At home I'm running Debian 1.2 (libc5) and at work RedHat 5.2
(libc6).
At home
$_hdimage = "/dev/hda1"
and
$_hdimage = "dosc"
where /var/lib/dosemu/dosc is a symbolic link to /dosc, the directory that
/dev/hda1 is mounted on, both work but at work only $_hdimage = "/dev/hda1"
works - if I mount /dev/hda1 on /dosc with a symbolic link from
/var/lib/dosemu/dosc to /dosc and try $_hdimage = "dosc", I get
ERROR: can't open /var/lib/dosemu/dosc: #21 - Is a directory
I tried dosemu-0.98.7 as well and got the same error message.

Hi,
1. There is a newer version on ftp.dosemu.org. You should try that
version.
2. Be more specific in describing your problem.

I used to have the same problem running dosemu 0.67. The 0.99 releases appear
to have fixed this problem. I'm currently running 0.99.11 with Linux kernel
2.2.5 and the shift and caps lock keys work fine.
Try "upgrading" to 0.99 and see if it works.

If you have a copy of MS-DOS, you could try using that instead of
DR-DOS and see whether it makes any difference.

I mistakenly sent this to your email address instead of to the listserv, so
here's the public copy:

Does your Shift-Tab work in your xdos sessions? I ask this because, more to
the point of this thread, I find I get my CAPS LOCK back in xdos sessions if
I set
$_X_keycode
to 'off'. But then I lose Shift-Tab.
However, if I set
$_X_keycode
to 'on', I get my Shift-Tab back in xdos session, but lose my CAPS LOCK.

Subject: game _almost_ works on the console (Ancient Art of War at Sea)
Ancient Art of War at Sea (Broderbund, 1987) runs fine on the console
under dosemu except for one thing: it has some sort of keyboard repeat problem.
Even when a key is not being held down, it acts as if it is getting some sort
of keyboard input, and when a key is pressed it repeats at a rate which is so
rapid the game is unplayable. It's as if it's using some sort of getchar to
read the current key pressed, and acting as if some key is pressed whether one
is or not. Any ideas?

Hi.
Have you tried to make a file hidden using dosemu, when it|s on a ext2
partition? it won|t let you. We have an old DOS accounting program we
are using, and i want to transfer it to a linux box. But the program
requires that one of its files in its root dir must be
readonly-hidden-system, or else it puts out an "illegal" error (think
about this heavy copy protection, ha!). I don|t want to put it in a
separated fat partition or a dosemu hdimage, because it grows with
use. Any suggestions to make the file appear as RHS to dosemu while
being in an ext2 partition?

You will have to. ext2fs doesn't support hidden/system attributes.

You can't make it hidden or system. I expect read-only works (but
haven't tried it).

Subject: dosemu serial port
Hi all,
I'm trying to use a DataCap (modem type device used for ccvs)
under dosemu 0.98.7. The problem is, when the software sends the init
string, somewhere between the software and the serial port,
40 or so nulls get put in front of the init string. This didn't happen with
0.66.*, but .66 had some other weird problems. On .66, the init string
went thru fine, the software would never recieve the "ok", even though
the datacap sent it. Other dialing software (procomm and another bit
of ccvs software) had no problem, even though they sent the same
init string. Anyone have any ideas?

CTRL-C doesn't work with Procomm Plus 2.0 for some reason but other than

I found there is a problem with DOS shell REN/RENAME command
when wildcards are used (e.g. REN A*.* B*.* causes an error).
The same DOS without DOSEMU accepts this command, therefore
I assume it is DOSEMU problem, some syscall is not executed
properly. I tested it up to version 0.98.6 - was it fixed later?[D[r?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As of doc/README.txt of 0.98.7 and 0.99.12:
6. Using Lredir
...
6.1. ..
...
You may even redirect to a NFS mounted volume on a remote machine with
a /etc/fstab entry like this
otherhost: /dos nfs nolock
Note that the nolock option is needed for 2.2.x kernels, because
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
apparently the locks do not propagate fast enough and DOSEMU's (MFS
code) share emulation will fail (seeing a lock on its own files).

^^^^^^^^^^^
Yup, and you for sure have a 2.2.x kernel, right? ;-)
You don't have that problem with 2.0.x because it ignores locks silently.
I got a patch for mfs.c to ignore locks on 2.2.x too, maybe I'll aply it
in the next releases. However, he caveat of this would be that the fact
fact that files on a 2.2.x mounted volume aren't locked is hidden.
This makes a difference now NFS _is_ locking (on 2.0.x every body knew
that it wasn't).

Also, possibly related, if I lredir a drive within dosemu, it does not
complain but then if I do a dir of the drive, I get rubbish which bears

You probably missed taking over the new global.conf to /var/lib/dosemu.
BTW: The bootdir stuff currently doesn't work correctly on the FreeDos
kernel, though it boots, when you make a symlink boot.blk -> boot.bin
(boot.blk is what the bootdir stuff expects)

That's it.
Shouldn't the MFS code check for the error code and in case of the
failing lock wait some moments and then try again before failure?
What's the implication of "nolock" on my home drive.
man 8 mount is quite short on nolock:
"nolock Do not use locking. Do not start lockd."

Subject: DOS - Interlink and DOSEMU
We are running Red Hat Linux Delux 5.2, attempting to port an in-house
application from Interactive Unix. The application uses the Interactive
VP/iX interface to emulate DOS, and through that connect to various
peripheral devices. In particular we are trying to connect through a
serial port to a Janus 2020 bar code reader. This device is actually a
386-type computer, and data is sent back and forth in part by mounting
the device using DOS Interlink.
We have ported Interlink to a DOS partition, and it will start under
Linux dosemu; however it does not recognize the device connected to the
serial port.
Do you have any guidance on use of Interlink under dosemu?
Thank you.

No.
You could use another emulator such as Bochs (http://www.bochs.com) but
Bochs is not free - it's open source shareware ($30 U.S. I think) - also
Bochs is too slow to be usable for most things - then there are other
emulators which are faster, but they are more expensive.

The only thing you *might* be able to run os/2 under besides itself, is
vmware, or *possibly* bochs.
vmware is not free, though they do let linux users download a personal
use copy for free, and bochs is ...not trivialy simple to set up.
You can get something that looks like os2 by running windows3.1 either
in dosemu, or in wine, and installing wpsfwin on top of it (warp shell
for windows, makes win 3.1 look like warp). I have done this. The way
wpsfwin replaces the program manager, and places icons right on the
desktop, when you run it in wine, you get mixed both X and Windows icons
right on your X desktop.
Pretty neat but there must be a reason I took it all apart after a short
while...*shrug* probably just because the only reason I set it up in the
first place was to see if I could. Once I got it, I had no further use
for it :)

Yet you can run Windows 3.1 under DOSEMU using OS/2 parts. Does that mean
that Windows 3.1 is a better OS/2 than OS/2? :-}

Ahem. NO! It is not possible.
In case you didn't realize it, OS/2 is a true protected mode
multitasking operating system, comparable to Linux itself, or Windows
NT. I.e. it is not a DOS program, and there is no chance of running
it under DOSEMU.

VMWare does not support running OS/2, and according to their WWW page,
they have no plans to support it in the future. One of the first
things I tried under VMWare for Linux was installing OS/2 Warp 4, and
the install never even got past the 2 boot floppies.

You probably do not have the correct configuration in /etc/dosemu.conf.
You can configure dosemu to allow direct access to a serial port (or
ports), or emulate a serial port (or ports), mapping it to a Linux
device. By default, there is no access to serial ports at all.
Both options are well documented in the dosemu README.txt if you are using a
recent version of dosemu such as 0.98.x or 0.99.x.

Hi, two problems, both of which don't appear in the mailing list archive
as far as I can see.
System RedHat 6.0, Dosemu-0.99.10 (default installation)
I have some DOS devices which I am working with under DOSEMU, the problem
appears to be that only the last IRQ that you request to be passed to the
DOSemu environment is actually allocated.
According to the debugging output, the configuration parser does note the
request correctly, but only the last one gets the "Gonna Monitor that IRQ x
you requested" message. Also, /proc/interrupts only shows the last one
being allocated.
Is this a known bug? It doesn't seem to be listed in the Changelog.
Also RedHat 6.0 and DosEmu 0.99.12 the linking stage fails due to
lib/libarch_linux_slang_elf.a(sldisply.o): In function 'SLtt_flush_output':
sldisply.o(.text+0x56): undefined reference to '_IO_stdout_'
also complains about _IO_stderr
I looked at it briefly, but I am not sure what is going wrong here.

That's right. Thanks.
I had an old global.conf from dosemu 0.98.1. Now that I've replaced it, I
can boot using the bootdir method
Also the problem with lredir that I reported recently now only occurs with
one of my copies of dosemu-0.98.6, not the other one or with
dosemu-0.98.7 - there must be something different about the way I compiled
that one - anyway I don't need the version that doesn't work so I can
just use the one that now does and my problem is solved.

This bug is fixed in dosemu-0.98.7, the latest stable version.
odd major version numbers such as 0.99.x are for unstable developer
releases so you should change to dosemu 0.98.7

I had dosemu-0.98.7 before upgrading RH5.2. It worked very well. So, I
have to turn back...
Thanks.

Hi all with trouble on serial lines.
I have tested dosemu using the terminalemulator R4 version 3.4.
It connects to VMS-systems. Using the default compiletime-settings,
dosemu hangs at the moment, when more than 1 Character is
transmitted to the host.
I changed 'newint on' to 'newint off' in the file compiletime-settings
and made dosemu.
The results where much better. Interactive working was OK.
There is an filetransfer included, which uses an proprietary protocol.
That works well only in one direction (host to PC). The opposit
direction again needs dosdebug to kill dosemu.
So, if you have trouble using the serial line, you could try to alter
compiletime-settings. Be warned, other trouble may arise after changing
the parameter. But it is worth a try.
Good luck
Reinhard

All the com setting in the conf file have been set. I think the problem may
be that interlnk has to talk directly to the port.
Dwight, you're working directly on this. Can you share some insight?

I'm assuming that you set the COM ports in the /etc/dosemu.conf ?
Playing around with those settings is probably your best bet.
