Hi Russel,
you could try $_console = (1) and $_graphics = (1)
in your dosemu.conf.
If you have got a supported chipset, alter
$_chipset= "your_graphic_chip". Look at the comment
for supported chipsets.

Subject: Cursor color in X
I tend to run dosemu from within a virtual terminal in X. The propmt and
text in the terminal are easily visible using the background and foreground
colors I've defined in the command to invoke an aterm from the desktop
(xfce, in my case.)
However, the dosemu cursor is a dark grey block on a black background; I
can barely see it. I've looked in /etc/dosemu.conf and I see only one line
referring to color: use color terminals in X.
Because the cursor is a small underscore in the foreground color of other
apps running in virtual terminals, I assume that this is a dosemu issue.
When I open a new, text console (separate from the X Window session) and I
run dosemu, the cursor is an underscore which is highly visible.
Thanks for solutions,
Rich

Subject: Stuff special keystrokes
Is there any extended syntax for the "keystroke" command which would
allow stuffing function and control keys and such? Is there support
for waiting to present the next key until after an app does a keyboard
buffer flush, a la 4DOS's KSTACK?
TIA!

Subject: sorry, but...
... its VERY important for me to find a solution for my problem, so
i ask again :
I want to use dosemu remote via telnet or ssh, but when i do that
there are several keys which are not working..
for example the german "Umlaute (�=ae, �=ue, �=oe, � = ss)"
they are working fine with telnet/ssh, but not in dosemu via telnet/ssh
Local dosemu has no problems with this keys.
There is also a problem with ALT+functionkey and STRG+functionkey,
but i think they are not transportet by ssh/telnet (i need also a solution
for this problem) and STRG+RETURN (which is interpreted as a normal RETURN)
thanks in advance,
Gereon

Yes, look at README.txt (chapter 'Using the keystroke and commandline
options.' e.g \^x will produce <Ctrl>X, \Ax will produce <ALT>X,
\F10; will produce <F10> e.t.c
Note, however, that you may have to double or quadruble '\' for forcing
the shell to pass it correctly to dosemu, when using the -I commandline
option.

No, but you can set pauses/delays for 'playback' of keystrokes,
also described in README.txt.

Subject: RE: sorry, but...
I found the same problem - but no solution :-(
The debug-file shows that the remote-line can process
7-bit INPUT only (output worked fine).
The only working environment is xdos (or dos -X) at remote side.
If this is not possible, the only way I found is native DOS
on the remote side (running the app remote, too).

Subject: xdos config problems
1.I must use our national keyboard settings (Hungarian). It works fine
when I set term_char_set="latin2" but in this case my application's
window crashed. (It contains 437 characters in its window frame.).
If I set term_char_set="ibm" keyboard doesn't work but the program's
window is fine.
2.I thought the xdos resolve these problems for me. I'v got some
elementary problem with this:
- I can't resize it's window ??? (I don't know why doesn't it
work.It's my most important and urgent problem!)
- Only a part of national laguage set is work properly.
But the window frames looks good.
3. Finally, I telnet into this machine, the national keyb. doesn't work
in dosemu, but it work at console.
(Gereon Ruetten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has my problem too I
saw).
I use RedHat 6.0 2.2.12 and dosemu-0.99-13 but I probe several older
versions.

Subject: very little runs - inc pkzip
I've managed to get dosemu started, and it boots ok.
But when I run just about any program it either hangs or crashes with a
processor exeption.
The program I'm testing with is pkzip 2.04g it just hangs and I need to
kill the session. The programs I really want to get running are
compiled with clarion.
I'm sure I got this working under RH5.2 but I'm now running RH6.0
Any pointers???

Subject: nosuidroot and other problems
ok, I am runnung dosemu-99?? on rh6.1 with kern 2.2.12, am trying to run
dos bbs doors (Lord in particular). When running dos as root, it works
just fine, however when I run a nosuid copy I get troubles, also when I
run suid for all users I get exactly the same error. This is it:
+ Firing Up LORD.OVR
+ Using EMS for faster overlay swapping.
+ Creating dynamic varible tables in conventional mem
Runtime error 002 at 0000:0077.
And that's it. How can I fix this? The prog runs fine as root so the
problem has to be with user access. Please help if you have any ideas.
Thanks

You're not giving us very much information, sorry can't help.
P.s When someone reports a dosemu problem on the RH6.0 platform the standard response
is "get the latest stabel version RH6.0 ships with a developers version.". I've seen
that recommendation atleast twenty times on this list :-) D.s

Subject: Why is RH including a developers version? (Was: very little runs - inc pkzip)
(Replied back to the list.)
Hi Eugene, greetings from Sweden.
>I'm still quite new to this. A developer's version of what?
That's ok. Honest! :-) You're (probably) using a developers version of dosemu. Redhat
made an error (or misjudgment) in including a devolopers version in their 6.0 release.
Developers versions can be fun to play with but the intended audience is developers.
Goto http://www.dosemu.org/
Checking their (RH's) ftp site I can see that they are still including a developers
release in RH6.1 (dosemu-0.99.13). Why they insist on this is beyond me.
Quoting the dosemu homepage:
"The Developers version of DOSEMU are used to test new features and new ideas. As such
they can be very unstable. The current Developers version is dosemu-0.99.13."
I think it would be fair to let the dosemu team decide what's for the general public
and what's not.
- --------------
The current Stable version is dosemu-0.98.8 and can be found at:
ftp://ftp.dosemu.org/pub/dosemu/dosemu-0.98.8-1.i386.rpm
(I'm assuming you prefer a .rpm-archive.)
If you've bought your RH distro from a redhat distributor I suggest you send them an
email, asking for support. Their support is fairly good and it's about time they start
fending of some of the questions they initiated by including a developers version.

Subject: Unhandled exception
Hi,
I'm trying to get some development tools running under dosemu, which includes
the Borland C/C++ compiler and debugger, and a program called loc31.exe, which
is a code locater. The compiler and the debugger seem to work fine (they come
up on the screen without squawking), but the loc31.exe program crashes.
Normally, just running 'loc31' under DOS generates a usage message, but under
dosemu, it generates the following:
32loader runtime error: Unhandled exception
Exception 0D at 00D7:0008E221 error code 00000000
CS=00D7 DS=00DF ES=00DF SS=00DF FS=00FF GS=0000

[0008E219]: 43 0C 99 41 46 00 EB 54 - 80 3D 58 00 47 00 00 74
loc31.exe requires a number of DPMI programs: 31rtm.exe, dpmi32vm.ovl, and
dpmiload.exe, which are in the path.
I'm running RH 6.0 with the out-of-the-box kernel, 2.2.5-15. I've installed the
latest stable version of dosemu from the rpm on the www.dosemu.org site
(0.98.8).
I have tried both bootdir and hdimage configurations, running the loc31 program
from a floppy or the harddrive without luck. I've tried the FreeDOS included
with the dosemu, DOS 6.0, and the DOS from Windoze98. I've included the
dosemu.conf file below. I thought I would check with this list before spinning
my wheels any farther (I looked through the list archive, but didn't see
anything appropriate - I may have missed it, though).
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Perhaps your local library, university or technical bookstore has these:

The usual message is 'not enough memory to load program' when there

The dos version I've tried are 95, 6.2, freedos
I had these programs running under RH5.1 when I first evaluated dosemu.
Now I need the thing and it don't work!!

I'd look at the O'Reilly books (www.ora.com). "Power Programming with RPCs"
is good on the subject but you would not guess it from the title.
Not from O'Reilly but good is "Interprocess Communications in UNIX
by Gray.
You can also just browse the man pages. start with "man socket",
and "man listen" and follow the "see also" references

Hi!
I can't believe nobody tried to resize his/her own dosemu's window!
It's a simple problem I think but I lame to resolve it 8-(.
Well, here is my config:
$_X_font = "" # basename from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/*
# (without extension) e.g. "vga"
$_X_mitshm = (on) # Use shared memory extensions
$_X_sharecmap = (off) # share the colormap with other applications
$_X_fixed_aspect = (on) # Set fixed aspect for resize the graphics
window
$_X_aspect_43 = (on) # Always use an aspect ratio of 4:3 for graphics
$_X_lin_filt = (off) # Use linear filtering for >15 bpp interpolation
$_X_bilin_filt = (off) # Use bi-linear filtering for >15 bpp
interpolation
$_X_mode13fact = (2) # initial size factor for video mode 0x13
(320x200)
^^^^^^^ I don't know what this option mean. I leave the
default
value.
$_X_winsize = "" # "x,y" of initial windows size (defaults to
float)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When I set it for example 800,600 or whatever I write, nothing is
happen!
It's very important to complete this problem for me. I use RedHat 6.0
with 2.2.12.

$_X_winsize only applies to the size of the _graphics_ window,
that is, when the DOS application enters graphics mode.
The _text_ window can't be resized and only depends on the font used.

Subject: RE: Disk Partitions under dosemu 0.99.10 (fwd)
This happened to me too and I had to read deeper in the manuals to figure it
out. The problem is not dosemu but Freedos. Freedos does not support
redirection which is what's used in order to access either a dos partition
or a linux directory under dosemu. Freedos will only work with another
image.
You can still have both drives accessable from the same dos session, but you
must use something other than Freedos on your boot drive. Reversing your
drive letters will do this, but just make sure you don't boot into win95.
The way I did it was actually the way suggested in the manual. Create a
directory in /var/lib/dosemu and set it as your boot drive (say
/var/lib/dosemu/root.dos/). Create your own config.sys, autoexec.bat, and
msdos.sys files in there, then link io.sys, command.com, and whatever
directories you need from anywhere in your filesystem, allowing you to keep
your dos partition mounted.

Hi,
I am testing out a clipper application in dosemeu. I can get the application working
fine and all the function keys work when i run the application from the console.
However when I Telnet to the Linux Box from a WIN95 box and run dosemu and the clipper
program from the Telnet session I can not get any of the Function Keys to work (keys
F2 - F10). I was wondering if anyone knows a solution to this. I have looked at the
Keyboard Mapping, but I am not sure what I have to do. I have tried a number of

With any terminal emulation, you must ensure the terminfo and termcap
databases are exactly like the terminal is working.
At the shell prompt type cat -v. Then press the function keys and see what
is the escape sequense that they are sending. Then compare it with the
terminfo data. To see the terminfo data you are using, type "infocmp". To
edit it redirect the output of infocmp to a file, edit it, and recompile it
with "tic". To edit termcap info just convert your terminfo data to termcap
syntax with "captoinfo".
You can test if the function keys are working with midnight commander in
example.
Note that there are many details about the terminal working that are not
easy to see if they does not match the definition, but that makes the screen
appears incorrectly sometimes like auto margin and others. You may need to
work a few days until getting the correct terminfo...

I'm running dosemu-0.98, and it works just fine. However, when I run it in

Subject: problems with com ports
Hello boys....
I beg your pardon but I'm new of this list so I hope my question is not a
FAQ.
I've strange problems with coms port and some programs using it.
I've two machines with RH5.2 One of them is a home PC, the other is a
Laptop.
Some programs don't see the COM1 e.g. Binkley Term, a FTN mailer
Another FTN mailer (T-Mail) doesn't see correctly the nodelist and refuses
to call the Boss. Sometimes it connects but there are troubles when
exchanging EMSI-REQ
Another one (Telemate) doesn't react when I send a CTRL-BREAK to the remote
(in this case I use Telemate only for my job)
TO be short: how can I configure Dosemu to operate corectly????
Thank you in advance.

It depends on what the C: is. If it is real harddrive partition,
only disk repartitioning can help :-(. If it is image file, you
can create another image (I suppose mkdosfs can be used, maybe
you need create large file using dd and mount it on loop device).
Another way is to boot DOS in DosEmu from directory, and in such
a case all space of Linux filesystem can be available.
I don't bother about space on C: myself - it contains startup
files only, and I use lredir to mount Linux filesystem on DOS.

There are two methods to configure COM port.
1. you allow direct access to the hardware: 8 I/O addresses,
and passing an irq to dos programs.
2. you specify /dev/cua0 or similar to be virtual port.
I suppose 1 allows full control, and has disadvantage it
lacks buffering - you can lose data while other tasks are
active. 2 gives you less control (I suppose you cannot set
baud rate, send break, ...), but Linux can buffer the data.
Try both methods to diagnose the problem.
Note in DOS there are memory locations for COM port I/O
addresses: 40:0,2,4,6 (4 words for up to 4 COM port).
Make sure there is something there (I/O address for 1).

Does dosemu still use the cua devices? They are obsolete and should be
replaced with the ttyS devices. Thus, your instruction should say:
2. You specify the /dev/ttyS0 or similar to be virtual port.

You need another version. It is intentional, as List Enhanced (which works

It depends on the meaning of resizing the text window.
Changing the charactersize ist not possible, but using Novell-Dos
I get a larger or smaller windows, using e.g. the MODE 80,50
command I get a larger window including 50 lines. Real DOS
changes the charactersize, dosemu changes the windowsize.

Subject: cobol apps problem
Hi!

Subject: DOSEMU to Samba Connectivity
LOCKING / Server + Clients required
===================================
I have a big DOS app that I want to run in multiple DOSEMU sessions
all on the one linux box with data shared between the sessions just like
they were all on separate client machines accessing the data on a real
server machine.
To use SAMBA as the server:
---------------------------
+ It can be on the same machine.
+ It is free.
- "Microsoft Network Client V3 for MSDOS" works fine but requires a
physical network card. It doesn't support packet drivers.
Since DOSEMU emulates a packet driver, rather than a real network
card, what is required to get this to work is a shim that looks
like a network card driver to the MS code, but is actually an
interface to the (emulated) packet driver. If only DOSEMU emulated
an NE2000 card or similar, all this would be so much easier.
Any Ideas? Has anyone done this?
Steve.

The ipx-code in DOSEMU seems to have an ipxodi interface: I can use
the NOVELL VLMs to get a connection to a novell server; AFAIK require
the VLMs an ipxodi-interface. There is a protocoll-converter
ipxodi to ndis. As Microsoft uses an NDIS-interface to an network card,
this configuration might work for you. The converter was name
ODINDISUP.COM and I used it 5 years ago. I don't know if Novell is
still distributing this software.
