Hello-
I am trying to get a hotel management program to work in DOSEMU. The
program is started by running a set of commands; here is how it appears in
DOS, compared to how it looks in DOSEMU:
----------DOS-------- ||------DOSEMU------------
c:\>innstar\worka |c:\>innstar\worka
***Work Areas Installed*** |***Work Areas
| Already Installed***
|
c:\>innstar\buffer |c:\>innstar\buffer
***Buffers Installed*** |***Buffers Already Installed***
|
c:\>innstar\rs232w |c:\>innstar\rs232w
***Communications Installed*** |***Communications
| Already Installed***
|
c:\>innstar\exec |c:\>innstar\exec
(here the program starts) | (here rather than starting, the
| program tells me that it is a
| bad version of rs232 (the serial
| communications program.
It acts like there is some sort of environment which these programs set up
for the program to run and that whatever these things are DOSEMU is already
setting them up for it. Apparently the work areas and buffers are ok - but
whatever communications that it is seeing that already exist and DOSEMU has
already set up, it is not working with the program - presumably because in
the rs232w it is using an extended API. Anyone with any ideas?
I know that this is obviously proprietary software, and that these other
programs could do anything, but I would really like to get this to work
because then my users could use the system by telnetting in over the
ethernet rather than having dedicated serial lines running under dos. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
