Hi All,
Now that dos is running, and it can talk to the serial ports, the next step
is to have it run in background. In looking at the dos manpage, it looks
like the -U option and named pipes provides a mechanism to do this. It
sounds like I can run dos with a command something like
dos -U dosin:dosout &
where dosin and dosout are named pipes and look like
p-w------- 1 trachier users 7 Sep 23 14:27 dosin|
pr-------- 1 trachier
users 0 Sep 23 13:52 dosout|
In one terminal window I used
cat dosout
to read from DOS's output pipe, and used
printf "exitemu\n" > dosin
on a second terminal window to write to DOS.
What happens when I start dos on a third terminal window, I get the
following message
100 myhost> kernel CPU speed is 451031025 Hz
Running on CPU=586, FPU=1
[1] +
Suspended (tty output) dos -U dosin:dosout
100 myhost>
Beyond this, there is no response. I am using a new installation of RH6.0,
and dosemu-0.99.10-4 . Do you have any suggestions, or short code examples
to get me started? Thanks for your help.
~ Gary
