Subject: cursor keys troubles
hey there, got dosemu .99.13 or whatever with redhat 6.2 with kernel
2.2.13 using some devel code. I posted before with troubles running
warcraft2 under dosemu, well i worked out all my troubles for the most
part, game run fine now. except now with both warcraft and an old-school
dos game "solar winds" from epic both now are having troubles with
keyboard input once the games start. with warcraft, it accepts most key
input but wont accept cursor keys, and with solar winds, it wont accept
any keyboard input after the game starts. mouse works in both though but i
hate using just the mouse. Are there some mapping issues i should be aware
of here? How can i fix this?
Also, there is one other issue, with warcraft it has a musical
score that it reads from an audio track on the cd, then it has sound
effects for the game itself (seperate fromthe cd's audio track) but even
with music disabled, it still plays the cd audio, but wont play the games
sound effects. Any idea what might cause this trouble and how i can get
around it? This is minor compared to the keyboard troubles, but if anyone
has any ideas how i could fix this, i would appreciate the help.
Thanks

You also apparently bought a bad mail program. Turn off the HTML - or next
time I won't bother reading it. (Some people might think that a good idea)

You can't. DOSEMU internally emulates a SB-type card. These settings apply
to the emulation. The emulation layer then talks to OSS to produce sound.
These settings are there so that people can make the emulated card appear
to be in the same place as their real card (if they have one).
> I have version 0.99
0.99 is a developer version. Expect problems.
I'll bet it came with Redhat too .... If so the problems with the script
are probably a problem with Redhat, not DOSEMU. DOSEMU simply expects to
find things where we put them by default. Certainly *my* copy
of dosemu-0.99.13 doesn't have a problem with that script.
If this isn't a problem with the redhat distribution then please, feel
free to email me, with details of where you got DOSEMU, how you installed
it, which distribution you use and I'll try to solve the problem for you.

Subject: Problems with Portaccess in DOSEMU
Hello,
I got from the SuSE Distribution 5.3 the DOSEMU 0.66.7.0
and had Portaccess (Kernel 2.2.5).
Since the Distribution 6.0 with the DOSEMU 0.98.x, I had no
Portaccess any more.
Actual, I use 0.98.8.0, Date 99/07/07 from SuSE 6.3
(Kernel 2.2.5) and only changed in dosemu.conf
following lines:
$_vbootfloppy = "boot_floppy_image"
$_hdimage = ""
$_ports = "range 0x100, 0x3ff"
Is that not enough, or is it a general Problem?
Is it in future possible to access on PCI Ports?
Thanks for help,

Subject: Serial Ports
HI
I'm trying to download data from a data logger which collects data
every 5 minutes and save it in a internal memory. This machine comes with a
software for DOS, which stabilishes a connection with the logger by a serial
port. I'm trying to run it inside DOSEMU. It works fine, but sometimes (this
is very often) the communication fails.
I first tried to use the following configuration (in dosemu.conf)
...
$_com1 = "/dev/cua0"
...
With this configuration, the things works just as I described above.
So I'm trying to make DOSEMU access the hardware directly using the
$_ports and $_irqpassing variables, but this is not working. It seems that
DOSEMU cannot open the port.
...
$_com1 = ""
$_ports = { range 0x3F8,0x3FF }
$_irqpassing = "4"
...
I'm using dosemu version 0.98.5.0
Can anyone help me with this?

Subject: winsize
Greetings,
I am using a PCDOS (not MS!) text application which requires a 100x40
window and raw keycodes. I can get this window with
dos -V or dos -C
but without the raw keycodes. I can get raw keycodes with
xdos
but the window is 80x25 and all attempts to set or modify the 'winsize' fail.
The problem with the 'winsize' in 'xdos' is probably related to the fact that
my VBIOS refuses to be mapped. I have the correct size of the VBIOS
(0x800) and its location (0xc000) from dos debug. There is something I do
not understand about 'dosemu.config'
Please help! W. M. Tulczyjew

winsize affects *graphics* modes only ...

The only thing that will affect the text mode is the size of your font and
the 'mode' command.

Yes - and like this comment, it isn't very useful.
Why ? Because you haven't given a command to DOSEMU and you haven't given
it access to the keyboard.
However, assuming that what you actually wanted to do was run a command in
the background, may I suggest that you check the README. (Specfically
section 13) This deals with running DOS applications directly from the
command line, and explains how you can set up DOSEMU for use with cron -
very similar to background jobs.

>From the file src/doc/README/dosnet (abridged and edited by me to have no
tags in it),
"The DOSNET virtual device.
Dosnet.o is a kernel module that implements a special virtual network
device. In combination with pktdrv.c and libpacket.c, this will
enable multiple dosemu sessions and the linux kernel to be on a virtual
network. Each has it's own network device and ethernet address.
This means that you can telnet or ftp from the dos-session to your
telnetd/ftpd running in linux and, with IP forwarding enabled in the
kernel, connect to any host on your network.
Setup for virtual TCP/IP
Go to ./src/dosext/net/v-net and make dosnet.o. As root, insmod
dosnet.o. Now as root, configure the dsn0 interface (for example:
ifconfig dsn0 192.168.74.1 netmask 255.255.255.0), and add a route for it
(for example: route add -net 192.168.74.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dsn0)."
More details are in that file itself.
Hope this helps.

Hello "Ihr Name",
please configure your newsreader to show your real name. Also
some politeness is customary in Usenet.
In a sense, yes, dosnet.c works exactly the same way as dosnet.o
in that it being the source code of dosnet.o ...
Actually, if there's only dosnet.c in your distro I suspect it
broken unless it's a source-only tarball. You might try to
reinstall dosemu OR download a non-broken version OR build from
source.
Downloads (both source and binary) can be gotten from
www.dosemu.org, binaries for your distribution from the web site
of your distributor.
In any case you need the compiled version of dosnet.c, say
dosnet.o.

Subject: Graphics in Dosemu
After weeks of trying different configurations, I am still unable to run
a CGA program in dosemu.
This causes me great pain because it means I need to reboot my system on
a dos bootable floppy to run my program (kongze.exe). I've come to the
conclusion after looking at the mailing list archives that CGA mode and
EGA for that matter simply isn't supported. What a pity.. The first
thing I am going to do when I get finished with my christmas exams is
implement CGA and EGA modes for DOSEMU. I think it's crazy that I can't
run this little program.. well.. DOSEMU is still a great work, I'll just
try to improve it a little.
Is anyone else having trouble getting CGA and EGA programs to work? If
you give me the name of a small simple CGA program maybe I will be able
to disassemble it and figure it out. Right now Kongze.exe is about 110k,
so disassembling it will prove to be quite a lot of work. I was hoping
to find a simple 20k or so COM file I could disassemble.. so if anyone
knows such a program please inform me. Thanks.

Subject: escape delay when rawkeyboard=0
I noticed that, when rawkeyboard=0 or when you run dosemu over telnet,
it takes about half a second for the dos program running under dosemu
to respond to the escape key.
My first idea was to lower ESCDELAY. I tried this but it didn't change
anything. Then I ran grep on the dosemu source looking for ESCDELAY and
escdelay but didn't find anything useful.
Is there a way to shorten this delay?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Holger,
use -o nolock in the mount command, if you use a 2.2.x kernel

Because after receiving Esc Linux expects some sequence;
from terminal sending two Esc-s with no delay between is
interpreted as single Esc. I suppose it is Linux, not the
DosEmu behavior. Maybe it can be changed in /etc/termcap.

Do you mean a program, which can be run on DOS (usual DOS,
not DosEmu on Linux), to connect to Linux host and emulate
terminal? I suppose it is high time to put it in some FAQ
- - the question is asked few times a week. My answer:
http://www.fuw.edu.pl/~jt/tkb.html
and you will find there also a program which converts key
codes (on DOS side) for the DosEmu to get them properly.

Here is a really good telnet client for dos-in-a-box. It runs in a console

If you want to use a DOS only version, try NCSA PC Telnet which is at
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/PCTelnet/
Like most DOS TCP/IP software I've seen, the NCSA telnet can be a little
tricky for beginners. Either of these programs should work though.

I can't help you, but here is an idea.
CauseWay, AFAIK, is protected mode linker. I've seen it used with clipper
apps few times (although blinker seemed more popular). I think (I may be
wrong, though), that you can change it's behaviour with envirnment setting
(for blinker, for example, you could do 'SET BLINKER=/hv-' to disable VCPI
and force it to use DPMI or basic XMS to run in protected mode).
I did not work with causeway, but maybe you can find some documentation on
'net about it and possible switches.

Just a hint - do you have:

Subject: CreativeChildren
Hi,
A recent news item announced the release of "Blood of the Damned", a computer game
which has "a mysterious sect of bloodsuckers and baby snatchers". In another news
item, Brazilian police were said to be investigating whether "Duke Nukem" induced a
medical student to go on a killing spree.
One wonders what these games are teaching youngsters about their attitude towards
people in the real world. I'm NOT thinking of starting a National Campaign Against
Violent Computer Games (how's NACAPAGVICOMGA for an acronym) but is it too much to
hope that if enough parents were to encourage their children to find better uses for
the PC, the tide of violence might be stemmed?
One suitable alternative would be to give youngsters the chance to create their own
sites on the World Wide Web. That is now within everyone's reach. Facilities of high
quality at low cost are provided, together with free Web design tools and Internet
training, at http://www.skyboom.com/amsek/.
If you like the idea, perhaps you would mention it to your friends or, better still,
copy this e-mail to them.

If you have ipx protocol compiled in your kernel, dosemu provides to the
programs an ipx interfase without loading drivers. You don't need to load
lsl, ne2000, and ipxodi. Dosemy passes the packets to the linux kernel

Subject: command line arguments to a dexe program?
Hi,
Is it possible to configure a dexe to pick up arguments from the command line
and hand back the appropriate exit code when it finishes? I would like to
run the TI DSP tools (C,asm,linker) using dosemu, but use gnu make hosted
on linux. For example, this is the sort of thing I would like to do:
bash$ cc.dexe -o foo.o foo.c
Is there any chance of this working? Alternatively, is there
a robust dos port of gnu make that will run under dosemu? I've been running
a djgpp gnu make version 3.76.1, but it frequently hangs, at least when
trying to run the ADI DSP tools.
If it's not too much trouble, please cc any responses to me directly.
I just sent in my subscribe request, but I'm not sure how long vger will
take to process it.
thanks,
galen
Also, I can't get the example 'fallout.dexe' to run. Does it work with 0.98.8?

Have You tried running it under DOS (not under DOS running under DOSEMU)?
Is make crashing also then? At least I don't remeber many situations where
DJGPP port of GNU make crashes.
There is also DJGPP port of make-3.77. See
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/
At least I tested DJGPP port of make-3.77 (as I remeber) to build
gnuplot-3.7 (and recently gnuplot-3.7.1) under DOSEMU and all worked without
crashes (./configure with some additional hacks and following make).
I haven't tried using dexe myself so cannot say anything there.

Subject: Directories as Images
To Whoever Can Help,
I'm trying to get DosEmu to use a subdirectory on my linux box as a hard
drive image. The HOWTO says this can be done just my making a directory in
/var/lib/dosemu, and copying the necessary DOS files in there. But when I
run dos I get this message.
ERROR: can't open /var/lib/dosemu/tw2002: #21 - Is a directory
Is there a special flag I have to trip somewhere?
Here's the system information...
dosemu ver. 0.98.1.0
Debian 2.1
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Re: Directories as Images
did you change the `$_hdimage = "tw2002"` in your dosemu.conf. if so and
that did not work, i would suggest renaming the dir to like bootdirtw2002
and putting it in your conf as `$_hdimage="bootdirtw2002"`. I have mine
set to use two different bootdirs, i named then bootdir and bootdirbbs and
both are located in /var/lib/dosemu/ then i use 2 different dosemu.conf
and global.conf to reflect which dir to use for which instance of dosemu.
So i know you can use a different director, however if that does not work
try renaming, it may be sensitive to the naming of the directories. Lemme
know if that works for you.

Hello Scott:
I have dosemu-0.98.8.
Here is the way I have it set up in '/var/lib/dosemu/bootdir'
Three symbolic links to /mnt/D, a hard drive with msdos:
command.com -> /mnt/D/command.com
io.sys -> /mnt/D/io.sys
msdos.sys -> /mnt/D/msdos.sys
The three files may also be copied to '/var/lib/dosemu/bootdir'. I've
done it both ways on my system, just make sure.
And in /etc/dosemu.conf, this line:
$_hdimage = "bootdir"
Good luck,

Subject: Another Question
Just when I thought everything was fine ;)
I'm trying to install dos 6.22 on the virtual hdimage. I used dd to create
the disk images. I can boot the first disk fine by using the vbootfloppy
parameter in the conf file, but the setup program needs to get at disk 2
and disk 3.
I can't make physical floppies because I'm 50 km away from the machine.
The man page for dos says to read quickstart to find out how to use a linux
file image as a floppy drive. The only reference in the quickstart file was
to use lredir in the autoexec.bat.
So I tried this.
lredir a: linux\fs/mnt/floppy
But I get this error
Error 5f00 redirecting drive A: to LINUX\FS/MNT/FLOPP
Is there another way I should be trying to setup a virtual floppy drive?
The conf file has $_floppy_a ="threeinch". Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: xtermdos, WordPerfect, key
I'd like to try running WordPerfect 5.1 under xtermdos, but I'm
baffled about getting the F<number> key functionality. wp5.1 uses the
F1-F12 keys with modifers Control, Alt, and Shift for commands.
This seems to work perfectly with wp in xdos. But, in xtermdos, the
modified F<number> keys usually don't get passed to WordPerfect.
For example, I want to make Shift-F1 do in wp running in xtermdos do
just what Shift-F1 does in wp under xdos (or dos -c -k in the
console): run the WordPerfect setup screens. I can't figure out a
disciplined step-by-step approach to doing this.
I've tried to make sense of the relevant howtos and man pages, and the
dosemy docs (honest!).

Your DOSEMU version doesn't support booting from a directory. More recent
versions, say 0.98.8 or 0.99.13, will do, however.

Subject: FreeDos, Dosemu, and WordPerfect 5.1
First the configuration information, then a question at the end.
dosemu-0.98.8-1
wp 5.1
FreeDos Beta 3
I've been experimenting with FreeDos, dosemu, wp 5.1.
First, some configuration information:
>From dosemu.conf:
$_vbootfloppy = "frd-boot-img" #boot this
$_hdimage = "freedos" #available as C:\drive in dosemu &
#freedos
directory of /var/lib/dosemu/freedos:
drwxrwxr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 19 16:54 BIN
drwxrwxr-x 14 root root 4096 Dec 19 16:54 DOC
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 19 16:54 HELP
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 19 21:19 commands ->
/var/lib/dosemu/commands/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 20 10:30 ddrv -> /mnt/D
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 292 Dec 19 21:13 exitemu.com
WordPerfect 5.1 is at /mnt/D/wp51/wp #/dev/hdb1, msdos formatted.
WP documents are in same directory
WP runs, allows me to load and save documents, but there are two
problems so far.
1. When I try to print a file loaded from c:\ddrv\wp51wp, wp
complains of an incompatible file format. If I save the file to A:\
the virtual boot floppy, this does not occur; I can print the file
just fine.
2. When I try to exit wp, the program asks me to insert the second WP
diskette into the A:\ drive; evidently the program doesn't recognize
that it is being run from a hard drive.
When I run dosemu & wp under msdos 6.2, this does not happen.
Does anybody have an explanations for this behavior in FreeDos? Is
there a change I can make in dosemu.conf that will affect this.
Incidentally I could not get FreeDos to boot from the $_hdimage
directory, but it boots fine from a virtual or real floppy. And it
recognizes the directory-name stored in $_hdimage as the C:\drive.
If you have WP 5.1 lying around unused, it seems to work perfectly in
xdos with msdos 6.2. It's an excellent old character-based word
processor with great capability.

Here is the way I do it.
$_hdimage = "bootdir" #bootdir is /var/lib/dosemu/bootdir
Then /var/lib/dosemu/bootdir contains these links:
command.com ->/mnt/D/command.com
#/mnt/D is /dev/hdb1 in /etc/fstab
ddrv -> /mnt/D
edrv->/mnt/E
#/mnt/E is /dev/hda5 in /etc/fstab
io.sys ->/mnt/D/io.sys
msdos.sys ->/mnt/D/msdos.sys
This boots msdos 6.2 just fine. Maybe "drives" needs to be like this:
/var/lib/dosemu/drives. /mnt/D and /mnt/E have to be mounted for
this to work, I think.

Try pressing F8 when the DOS boot starts, execute
AUTOEXEC commands by one, and try to find which of
them causes the session to hang.

I suppose you have the following possibilities:
1. make a bootable dos 6.22 floppy disk image containing
all programs necessary to install entire dos on hdimage;
this will include IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, COMMAND.COM, FDISK,
FORMAT, and some DosEmu utils (LREDIR, EMUFS?). Maybe you
can make such a floppy locally, use dd to create image,
and send it to the remote system. Boot it, make minimal
installation hdimage, and copy other programs later.
2. define the boot floppy image as symbolic link and change
it when dos setup requests floppy change;
problem: I am not sure if dos will clear its buffers!
3. using loop device (see man losetup) to access files on
disk image may be helpful: you can mount disk image, and
I suppose you can LREDIR it to some dos drive.
I suppose it is possible to install some basic DOS without
floppy changing - using FDISK and FORMAT manually. Seems
they are on first floppy. Remaining floppies contain dos
programs which may be copied from them (and EXPANDed by
dos EXPAND command - they are in compressed form).
hope it helps....

Subject: Print errors when priting with 2 parallel ports.
Hi guys!
I've been using DOSEMU with hdimage from DR-DOS 7.03 for a long
and it works fine.
But now, I've included another parallel port (0x278) at my computer
and 2 printers (one at each port, of course :-) ) and I'm getting a
error.
It looks like when dosemu create a "/tmp/XXXX" file that I'm trying
to print, this "/tmp/XXXX" file is empty, so when DOSEMU tries to
"lpr /tmp/XXX" an error menssage appears: "lpr: Can't print. It's a
empty file" or something like that.
I've tryed to set up DOSEMU to print in "bare metal" (as described in
dosemu-HOWTO) but it didn't work!!
I'm using kernel 2.0.36 and DOSEMU 0.98.1
Should I upgrade to DOSEMU 0.99.10 ?? I know this is a developing
version, that's why I haven't upgraded yet.
Does anybody can help me???
bests regards,
Lucas Brasilino
