Subject: Re: two problems
I can answer your first question; set raw_keyboard=(1) or something like
that in your dosemu.conf file.

I installed the rpm package DOSEMU version 0.99.10 on a Pentium II
233MHz
As soon as I run dos -X from a terminal window (within a KDE session),
the DOS windows is killed and no error message is provided.
Any idea ?
Thanks.

Try downloading, compiling and installing dosemu 0.98.8 (the latest
stable version) from ftp.dosemu.org.
You will need to read the documentation that comes with it - for example,
if you have some
version of DOS other than FreeDOS, then you probably want to use that
instead of the FreeDOS image that comes with dosemu, etc. etc.

Subject: cursor problems
Hello everybody,
I'm in great trouble trying to work with dosemu:
Situation:
- - Computer with LINUX 2.2.7 and dosemu-0.98.6.0
- - Computer with Solaris/x86 2.6
- - dosemu running under LINUX should be shown on the Solaris-Client under X
(DISPLAY=...)
- - DOS-Programm with graphical user-interface
- - starting dosemu with xdos or xterm ... -e dos
Problem:
- - dosemu running with font vga or vga11x19 the DOS-programm is running in
well-known style
- - unfortunately the cursor stays on the bottom and on the left side of the
window
- - an active input-field on the display can only be detected, when an input was
made (on reasonable work )!
or:
- - dosemu running with standard-X11-fonts (for example 10x20) the programm is
running without acceptable graphical interface, but the cursor appers in the
active input field
- - unfortunately I don't get the typical german letters ����
What is wrong ?
I hope you can help me. Best wishes
Klaus-Georg Friedel

Hi!
I'm Dwight Baer from London, Ontario.
I got this e-mail address from the Linux man pages.
I need to copy from Linux to a DOS floppy. Do you know how this can be
done? I am trying to use the Linux "dos" command.
TIA

Either use the mtools (mcopy, mdir .... (man mtools)) or mount the
floppy (e.g. mount -text msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy) when you kernel has
msdos enabled and use cp.
dos is an emulation of the dos-Environment. Using dos for copying file
is like buying a car when you only want to listen to its radio.

Hi , and thankyou for this great piece of software ...
I=B4d like to make you a question about using a multiport adapter on =
a linux box..
I=B4m configuring so it can be a bridge for accessing an old NCR ITX =
system that on only supports serial terminals ADD-VP type so users can =
telnet the linux box ,execute dosemu and then Procomm to access the ITX =

So I configured the linux box , and it works ok with 1 or 2 serial =

can=B4t use two ports with the same IRQ .Problem is we need more ports =
now and I believed this adapter will do.
Have dosemu any chance to access more than one serial on the multiport =
adapter (I think it is a Cyclades), because of IRQs? Any way to share =
the IRQs?=20
We haven=B4t bought it yet and I=B4d thank any tip before spending the =

Hello,
i gave a problem with dosemu version >= 0.98XXX.
Until now i worked with dosemu 0.97.10 without any problem. But now i
can't
compile dosemu 0.97.10 after a system update. I guess this version is
now too old.
Nevertheless its time for me to use a more actual dosemu version.
Now i use dosemu 0.98.8 . With this version ( and the versions before
...)
i have some problems with files on my local disk. I can't delete files
or change
the file contents. My dsp assembler produces some error messages that he
can't find
files he has created. If i use my local msdos fat partion thru a novell
emulator
( marsnew ) and not directly, the problems disappear and all works fine.
Therefore it seems to me, there must be a problem with the handling of
local
files on my system. I hope someone has a idea which can help me !?
I us lredir to access my local msdos fat partion.
Here my autoexec.emu :
lredir e: linux\fs
lredir del d:
lredir c: linux\fs\mnt/dos_c
lredir d: linux\fs\mnt/dos_d
...

Subject: Re: Copying from Linux to a DOS floppy
dos is the command to start the dos emulator, which can run dos programs
on linux. If you want to copy files on a dos floppy, then just mount the
drive as msdos filesystem and use the cp command. Do yo know how to
mount the floppy drive? Which release of linux are you using?

Hi Wolfgang,
I would suggest you should try:
$_layout = "de-latin1"
$_X_keycode = (on)

Subject: High VESA-Resolution
Hello,
it try to run a DOS-CAD-Programm with DOSEMU. It runs and that's great.
Unfortunately there are some little problems:
1. The speed, but is a little bit strange. When I load a drawing, the
drawing will be displayed the first time very quick. But if I press the key
to redraw the screen you can observe the drawing of every single line... (I
use it in a console, it doesn't run in a X-Window)
2. It only works with the VESA-resolution up to 800x600. If I try to use a
higher one, I get the message:
Mode not supported : Window size not 64K
What does this mean and is there a solution?
3. When I exit the CAD-programm, DOSEMU quits with a message like:
ERROR: HLT requested: lina=0x8d!
ERROR: HLT requested: lina=0x8d!
ERROR: general protection at 0x45870: 2
ERROR: SIGSEGV, protected insn...exiting!

Subject: Optimizing DosEmu
I am looking for a resource on optimizing dosemu.. Is there one on the
web?
How can I keep performance good in the individual dos session (text
game, remember lord) with 20+ dosemu's running? the program is 16bit
turbo pascal compiled... can I, for instance, make a dosemu run no
better than a 20mhz 386 w/ 640k (fine for this game) so more dosemu's
can run on a machine?
Thanks (and thanks for the help Ive recived here before)

Subject: Console locking when running dos program
Hi,
We have a DOS program that works fine by using a soft interrupt (0x53) which reads
from and writes
to a serial device and we are trying to migrate this program to dosemu in order to
have TCP/IP
connectivity.
First, we have rewritten the soft interrupt routines in dosemu in order to open a
tcp/ip socket and
it is apparently working fine (we've been tracing it through syslog messages and the
packets come
and go). The messages are transferred to the program but they are never printed on the
screen. We
know that the program that calls the interrupt is not locked because it is running the
loop
correctly ( read the message, print it on screen and go read it again, and print it
again,...).
Why no messages are printed on the screen (they contain CR+LF :) )?
I'm using BC 3.1 and the original code uses getch and kbhit. Is there any known
limitation for these
functions on dosemu?
Am I allowed to use sockets on a soft interrupt in dosemu as long as I'm running only
one instance
of such program on my machine or do I need to use dosnet to achieve what I want?
TIA,
Diogenes

Hello Alexander!
You should look in your dosemu.conf and set COM1 / COM2 - Parameters
according to you needs. The serial ports in linux must not be locked,
you must have the permissions to read and write to the serials ports.
You should compile dosemu with the parameter newint off. I have had
problems using the serial ports with the default value of 'on' for
newint.

Dear Sir,
I am an Engineering student from India. I was trying to download
the latest version of dosemu form your site. But I think that 900 seconds
is pretty less time to download and our connection is very slow. Kindly
help me in this regards.
I shall be highly obliged if you send me the latest version of
dosemu to this mail address as an attachment. Hoping for a favourable

Subject: Re: problem from dosemu and old dos comunication program
Hello,
I *think* he asks how to set the parameters of the comm port - and is asling
whether this is done by Linux, by Dosemu (the equivalent of a "mode
command", or is this the responsibility of the comm program.
The process running Dosemu will also need read/write access to the tty. I'm
well versed in Dosemu, so I can't answer these questions tho.

Subject: Serial Port Access
I'm having trouble accesing serial ports using dosemu (booting off my old
dos partition) and linux (rh6.0 2.2.5) i've set com 2 to /dev/ttyS1 and
have a device connected (custom instrument) while it will recognize when
booted natively into dos, it will not comunicate under dosemu. Are there
any settings i can try (i tried giving dosemu 0x02f8 with no luck) I
apologize for sending to the list but i really can't seem to find anything
on the faq or howto, where else should I look.
Many Thanks

Subject: Serial Port Access Again
I've discovered that the port dosen't seem to have proper handshaking
according to diagnostics (run under dosemu with a loopback) could this be
why my serial application will not run, if so am i not using the proper
unix setting on my serial port? also com2 does not pass the diagnostic's
interrupt test. again I apologize if this is the wrong list, please direct
me to the proper one.
Many thanks

hi !
I would like to ask you , I can run dosemu as no-root user in privilege

The problem is following :
I have set parameter $_graphics=1 in dosemu.conf to load card"s bios and
it is going fine only if I am logging as a root . What can I do to make

It sounds like you are running it on the console. You need to run it
under X to be able to run it as non-root and do graphics.

It's not at all clear (at least to me) what you are trying to do. If you

OK, I would like to help you. But still I am not sure about your
problem.
How I understand you:
1) You have hacked the DOSEMU code. Your additional code in
DOSEMU is executed whenever some program calls software
interrupt 0x53.
2) Your 0x53 code (that is part of DOSEMU now) wants to call back
to the calling program (for instance so the calling program
does not have to wait idly for the finalization of some
lengthy procedure that is executed inside int 0x53) some time
later.
3) Later Int 0x53 will call back a function inside your program
and pass arguments to it in a data block referenced by ES:BX
(rather unusual combination, methinks, is there a special
reason why you do not use something like ES:DI ?).
IF SO THEN:
- - you must tell int 0x53 the absolute address of the function to
be called back - there is a way to find out the address of a
function in C, look it up in your C's docu
- - from 0x53 you call that address after you setup the arguments
properly
Now: you need to make sure that the callback routine does not do
any fancy stuff since the OS (the DOS part, that is) will be in
an - albeit defined - yet arbitrary, presently unknown state
because the callback interrupt can occur pretty much anytime. Be
careful about changing data structures used elsewhere, about disk
access, screen access, calls to other functions, etc. etc.
It's a nasty desaster best avoided.
The safest though not the most elegant bet is to just save the
arguments in your callback routine into some data storage area
that will be written _only_ by that routine and read by other
functions _only_ when a "valid flag" is set which you do at the
very end of your callback routine and which you clear upon
invocation of the call to 0x53 that plants the callback. Now,
that flag must be local to _this_ instance of the callback since
two callbacks could overlap. The best is to setup a data area
_before_ invoking 0x53 in the first place and passing that
pointer to 0x53 along with the callback address pointer. Then
0x53 will call your callback function with that data area in
ES:BX. Make sure your valid-flag resides inside the data area.
Thus you will have a flag local to this instance of the callback.
Correct me where I'm wrong.
Just my 2 cents but I hope it helps.
I guess, however, this is off-topic.

The example below, show the procedure in the TSR application service, which running on
DOS. How
would it look like converted for DOSEMU ?
/*------------------------------
Handle call back routine
*/
void interrupt (*RotCmd) (void);
void CallBackRot(void)
{
if (!Ptr->rotserv)
return;
RotCmd = Ptr->rotserv;
_ES = FP_SEG (Ptr->Args); // _ES is real register of CPU
_BX = FP_OFF (Ptr->Args);
(*RotCmd) ();
