Subject: How to capture a video sequence
I want to extract a video sequence from an old DOS program. Does anybody
know how can I do this with dosemu? I was thinking about hooking a "frame
grabber"from the screen update routine........ Does anybody know about an
already made extension?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply!
I downloaded your program and it seems to be something to use on a true
DOS machine? Perhaps I mis-stated my problem. Whether I use dosemu
directly through a virtual console or telnet (from another Linux
machine), certain key combinations are not passed to the DOS program
that is running under dosemu. For instance, <alt> F-keys are used by
Linux to switch virtual consoles and, therefore, such key combinations
never get seen by a DOS program that is run under dosemu.

Maybe I got into this late, but here is my answer. The dos program I run
under dosemu is WordPerfect 5.1. It uses lots of F-keys with the
modifiers for its basic operations. These seem to work ok (I haven't
tried all of them!) when xdos is running in its own X-window, and when
'dos' is run from the console with the raw keyboard option.
However, I'd like to know how to control the way keys are passed to
applications when 'dos' is running in an xterm: say WordPerfect 5.1 is
running in dosemu, which is running in an xterm. Just idle curiosity!

Try <Ctrl>^h (2 strokes: first '<Ctrl>^' then 'h'). You'll get help
on what is possible. Example:
Pressing <Ctrl>^s followed by <Ctrl>^3 results in SHIFT-F3.
Well, normally people are used to read ^H as <Ctrl>H and using just
this '^' as 'escchar' realy is confusing. However, on an US keyboard,
the '^' is 'above' number '6', so the above example could be written in a
more usual way such as
Pressing ^6s followed by ^63 results in SHIFT-F3.
or
Pressing ^^s followed by ^^3 results in SHIFT-F3.
(grrh...)
Ok, here is the complete help from ^6h (aka <Ctrl>^h aka ^^h) and
'translated' to use '^6' as the prefix for all those special typings:
Hope this helps and doesn't give more confusion ;-)

I am trying to use 2 network cards with an IPX based application running in DOSEMU.
Both are connected to a Novell server and are working OK using IPX_INTERFACE (I have
setup the IPX network and frame types etc).
However when I use VLM.EXE in DOSEMU it always uses the primary IPX interface
(IPX_INTERFACE ADD -P ETH0 1). I would like to be able to specify which interface is
used for each DOSEMU user in order to provide simple IPX load balancing.

Subject: Re: ATI Rage 128
Yes - use X-Windows. The problem is that there are too many graphics cards
out there for us to maintain drivers for each them, but we don't have time
to write new ones. However, the XFree86 people do a wonderful job of
trying to keep up with the new cards, so we use their work. It has the
nice side effect that you can run DOS on a different machine over the
network ....
The original console drivers do a reasonable job for the cards that they
support but they don't support them all. You might notice that most of the
supported cards are now quite old. They were written at a time when
running X was too much of an overhead. I remember my original linux
machine with its massive 4Mb of memory paging madly just trying to run
twm. (The worst thing is that I used to *use* it like that ... ah the old
days ...) In these days when most machines have at least 32Mb of memory X
is a reasonable overhead, and so we can concentrate on the X drivers.
Its unlikely that any new console drivers will be developed. If someone
feels the desperate need to write one then a generic VESA driver *might*
be useful. However, it would be more fun (and more use) to deal with the
limitations of VGAEmu (such as 16-colour modes, Mode-X, etc)

And you can simulate them. To send Alt-F5 you type Ctrl-6 a Ctrl-6 5.
Here is the doc extracted from my program source:
; DosEmu key sequences (all start from code 1Eh):
; 1234567890-= F1-F12
; ?hH help
; acgsACGS Alt Ctrl rAlt Shift (uppercase=stick)
; with k: 789456123 Home,Up,PgUp,Left,'5',Right,End,Down,PgDn
; 0/*-+<Enter> Ins,/,*,-,+,Enter
; other: 1Eh,'k' is ignored and the code is passed
; with K: dhnpsy. eDel,Pause,NumLock,PrtSc/SysReq,ScrollLock,
SysReq,eDel
; (case ignored)
; digits: same as with k except enhanced unless 5.
; what with '<'? scan code 56h (57h=F11, 58h=F12)
For instance, for DosEmu to see SysReq (Alt-PrtSc) you need send:
Ctrl-6 a Ctrl-6 K p (enable Alt and send PrtSc/SysReq).
Seems there are some bugs in DosEmu (seems I tested it up to 0.98.8):
it cannot get Del (only Enhanced Del), and it cannot get normal '<'
- - I remember some problems with Norton Commander because of it.

Subject: vmodem?
Hi all,
Does DOSEMU have any kind of 'vmodem' capability? Ideally, what I would like
is for a specified COM port to be redirected to stdin/out - which will
generally be the TTY I'm on. This is to support DOS doors for my BBS.
If it doesn't support this, who should I bribe to 'make it so' ?

I didn't even install X on my 386SX-20 with 5 MB RAM and 2 40Mb harddisks,
one dedicated to DOS and the other to linux. And gcc was quite slow
compared to the Borland DOS compilers ...
All is different now of course ...

I was actually looking into this since it is a whole lot easier to
implement a vesa video mode save/restore routine than emulating 16 color
modes, as far as I can see. I can use my graphics card with vesa 2.0 for
just about anything under the console with dosemu, except for vc-
switching. And of course switching from X to the console is always
possible with Ctrl-Alt-F something.
The vesa video save/restore routines are as follows (this is from
svgalib):
/* Read and save chipset-specific registers */
static int vesa_saveregs(unsigned char regs[])
{
void * buf;
buf=LRMI_mem1;
vesa_r.eax=0x4f04;
vesa_r.ebx=0;
vesa_r.es=((long)buf)>>4;
vesa_r.edx=1;
vesa_r.ecx=__svgalib_VESA_savebitmap;
__svgalib_LRMI_int(0x10,&vesa_r);
memcpy(®s[VGA_TOTAL_REGS],buf,vesa_regs_size);
return vesa_regs_size;
}
/* Set chipset-specific registers */
static void vesa_setregs(const unsigned char regs[], int mode)
{
void * buf;
buf=LRMI_mem1;
memcpy(buf,®s[VGA_TOTAL_REGS],vesa_regs_size);
vesa_r.eax=0x4f04;
vesa_r.ebx=0;
vesa_r.es=((long)buf)>>4;
vesa_r.edx=2;
vesa_r.ecx=__svgalib_VESA_savebitmap;
__svgalib_LRMI_int(0x10,&vesa_r);
}
What I need to figure out is what is the dosemu equivalent of
__svgalib_LRMI_int(), which calls the real vesa bios. I looked
through the source to find the example where c000:3 is called, but
one place in src/env/vga.c, where other comments point to, is commented
out with a "#if 0". I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could point
me to the cleanest way of implementing this.

There was a patch from "Julia A . Case" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to just do
that. She started to adapt this patch for dosemu-0.98, but did not finish.

In dosemu.conf you can define COM ports, if I remember correctly
any device from /dev can be used there (I tried /dev/cua2).
Seems you can use /dev/ptyxx and /dev/ttyxx pair - they form
bidirectional pipe, you open pty first, then run DosEmu giving
corresponding tty to it.
Or maybe you can just specify /dev/tty (or whatever is name of
current terminal on Linux) to pass it to DosEmu.

what about the 'real' keyboard/screen? the program still needs to be able to
read/write the local screen buffer, and poll for keyboard input. however
none of this should be visible to the user.

I am afraid I might incorrectly understand what is to be the
_direction_ of the redirection: do you need DosEmu to see some
streams as its COM port, or you need some COM port to be used
as DosEmu input/output? The first is probably easy, the other
I tried and had serious troubles. Finally I use expect and
telnet to invoke DosEmu. Maybe things can be simplified, maybe
DosEmu must be invoked by a program which passes terminal type
in environment, and when I used pty/tty it was not set to any
reasonable default? DosEmu must assume some terminal type (say
VT100) for screen I/O to work - otherwise it terminates. And
seems it does not accept redirection from/to a file. I assume
it is especially important for output - for screen addressing.
If you want use DosEmu in a way one can phone your machine,
and invoke DosEmu, there is a must to determine terminal type
for the DosEmu to be able to display correctly on terminal.
Also, seems you can use some getty version for all the job...
just display info like "for login enter terminal type, one of
vt100, vt220, ....", and for every of these names define user
which invokes DosEmu for respective terminal type.

the former. perhaps a crash course in BBSing might help...
DOS BBS programs are unlike any Unix program. They have TWO inputs and TWO
outputs. The local screen (ie. the monitor)+keyboard, and the COM port (to
which the user has connected to via modem). All these programs write their
output twice, once to the local screen, and once to the com port.
And vice versa.
The local console is only ever used by the sysop (the guy that runs the BBS,
who is sitting at the physical machine). That means it has god powers - a
status bar with user info on it, and the ability to modify the user's
security and so on. if not for that there would be no problem - I could just
run all the BBS stuff in 'local mode' (ie. the program uses only the local
console - DOSEMU handles this just fine).
Normally, I can telnet to my machine, run DOSEMU and I'll see a DOS prompt -
DOS is assuming it's writing to the physical screen, and reading from the
physical keyboard - not my telnet session. And I assume that this is indeed
the case - DOSEMU has a screen buffer, and is sending it's contents across
to my terminal. Probably the same as the program 'screen' does.
This has to be somehow disconnected. The program will still need to write to
the screen buffer, but it will not be sent to my terminal. It will still
need to poll for keyboard input, but there will never be any.
So, DOSEMU has stopped reading/writing my terminal as though it were DOS's
console. What it needs to do instead is connect the COM port (that is, a
fake COM port within DOSEMU, not a real com port) to my terminal. So if I
type "foo" over my telnet session, those characters will be placed in the
incoming buffer on DOSEMU's COM port. If the program sends "bar" to the COM
port, those characters will be sent to my terminal.
clear as mud? :)

How do I have to do? I did read the FAQ but:
$_ports { device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x378 0x37f } # lpt1
gives syntax errors and Hans Lermen's suggestion note in the sam FAQ doesn't
work either, as is. I tried with:
$_ports = "device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x378 0x37f"
or with
$_ports = "range 0x378,0x37f"
and many other combinations without success.
Could somebody please send me the exact command to use (or tell me the "secret

Subject: dosemu-1.0.0 available
Hi Friends and Users of DOSEMU,
Finaly, after 8 years of development, we decided to give our baby the
freedom to call itself 'production ready'. We could not realize all our
wishes, but the stuff which is in should be as stable as it can be with
DOS in the background :-)
Thanks to all people involved, those still active as well as those
formerly active ones ;-) Special thanks to all the former co-ordinators
who 'governed' the development team befor me:
- Matthias Lautner, started the DOSEMU project 1992
- Robert Sanders, took over government 1993
- James B. MacLean, who was the longest staying on
this project: 1994 .. 1996
Since 1997 being the co-ordinator of this exiting project, I'm very happy
that it finally reaches its aim.
dosemu-1.0.0 is uploaded to the usual place:
ftp.dosemu.org:/dosemu/
.../Development/patchset-0.99.14.tgz
.../patchset-1.0.0.tgz
.../dosemu-1.0.0.tgz
.../dosemu-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
In the meantime it got mirrored and also is available on:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/emulators/dosemu/*
The md5sums are:
17b8ce057b257b0c1e287a2fbfdbb451 patchset-0.99.14.tgz
3d25264f530fb67f1e2af58b62d8e621 patchset-1.0.0.tgz
f6b4338aeddc75845c68baf509fd0261 dosemu-1.0.0.tgz
9d3f39f8424130d1c65d563956188423 dosemu-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Note that 1.0.0 was built out of 0.99.13 ==> 0.99.14 and that 0.99.14
is the 'fork point' which will continue unchanged as 1.1.x.
1.0.0 is identical to 0.99.14 except it has no cpu-emu.
A final remark: For those compiling dosemu themselves with some (latest?)
glibc-2.1.3 variants, it maybe necessary to set 'slangforce off' in
./compiletime-settings to use their own Slang library, else linkage may
fail. Though I got report of this problem, I can't reproduce it. The
system on which I checked the compilation with gcc-2.95.2/glibc-2.1.3 had
no problems at all.
Have a lot of fun,

Count me as one of the formerly active ones from '93 and '94!
Let me extend a belated congratulations to all of you.
Although I am not a DOSEMU at the moment on my current Linux server,
some of you oldtimers may remember me as the one who rewrote the
serial emulation code back in 1994 and helped with timer support
to make DOS/4GW videogames such as DOOM to work at full 100% speed.
I even see my name is still there, splattered all over the serial
code these days. Yes, those good old James B. MacLean days!
Congratulations for bringing the version number all the way to 1.0,
it has been a really long journey!
Thanks,
Mark Rejhon

Hi,
I'm a ordinary user only, but wishing to thank you
for this long, great work.
Have had some trouble with the 0.98.8 (8-bit keyb.
- -input) and will give it a new try now.
I'm using it for an old ACUCOBOL-app. with DOS4GW
etc. and most of all worked fine.
Once again, thank you to the whole team.

Subject: RE: Help: hot to use LPT1 ?
Hi,
if you use the same port as Linux (for printing) you won't
have success. You can't use one port twice...
If possible try $_printer = "lp" or whatever the Linux-name
of your printer is (see /etc/printcap and /etc/dosemu.conf).
If you _really_ need a bare port you should add a second one,
exclusive for dos. Here it's ok to specify the portaddress.
Maybe you should test the dosemu_0.98.8 or the brand-new 1.0.
Yours 0.99.13 is developer and may have problems!
Hope this helps.
Greetings
Wolfgang

Hello,
I'm not subscribed to the list so, please, reply me privately or I'll miss
the
answer.
I have dosemu 0.99.13 shipped with RedHat 6.1 and I don't manage to allow a
DOS
program to access a standard LPT1 port.
How do I have to do? I did read the FAQ but:
$_ports { device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x378 0x37f } # lpt1
gives syntax errors and Hans Lermen's suggestion note in the sam FAQ doesn't
work either, as is. I tried with:
$_ports = "device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x378 0x37f"
or with
$_ports = "range 0x378,0x37f"
and many other combinations without success.
Could somebody please send me the exact command to use (or tell me the
"secret
tricks" that I don't know)?
Thank you a lot in advance,
Regards,
Franco

Sorry if this is not quite the correct forum.
I'm trying to use dosemu to run Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
Using the default dosemu.conf I get the following error (from tycoon.exe):
Error TNT.20035: The 386 chip is currently executing
in virtual 8086 mode under the control of another program. You must turn
off this other program in order to use TNT DOS-Extender to run in

If I edit the file and adds $_dpmi = (2048) i get (from xdos):

Are there anyone who have managed to get tycoon working? It would be
great to get this game working. It would save me many reboots. :)

This problem will be addressed in the 1.1.x series. With the current
Slang terminal its not possible to handle those problems, but the code
which does (and is a pretty big patch), wasn't stable enough to be put
into 1.0. ... stay tuned.

So your compilation is broken.

hmm, this is _not_ the recommended procedure (and the docs explitely tell
you _how_ to reconfigure).
You need either to use ./setup-dosemu or edit compiletime-settings:
config {
...
dodebug on
...
}
then do
$ make distclean
$ make

This was thing I tried at first (static binaries, don't force included slang,
...). The result was the same

PS. I had such problem also earlier with 0.99.13. Seems that problems appeared
after upgrading to Slackware-7 (Last successfull binary was from September 25
1999). glibc-2.1 should not be guilty here as I had it installed already in
Spring 1999.

ERROR: general protection at 0x99fff: 0
ERROR: SIGSEGV, protected insn...exiting!
the partition works fine from linux, but trying to boot to dos it
says c: invalid media type etc. so it seems the partition somehow doesn't
know its a vfat partition now.
I'd be happy to see some kind of solution to the problem and be able to

Subject: XDos crash
Hi all...
I just compiled dosemu 1.0.0.0 and i'm having troubles with xdos...
using the dosemu.conf file that comes with it, changing nothing except for
the bootdir part of it, it crashes when trying to switch to mode 13. In
fact, I wrote a quick little assembly program to prove the crash...
mov ax, 13
int 10
mov ax, 4c00
int 21
note that it crashes in at least these 3 cases: running that program,
doing a "SCREEN 13" in qbasic, and running DOOM. It does NOT crash when
doing a "SCREEN 12" in qbasic, although the graphics look funny (this is
expected from my previous experiences with xdos). Also, doom worked fine
in the last version I had (0.99.13)
the error it gives me (apart from the DOOM case, which doesn't return an
error but quits xdos for me) is:
- ----SNIP----
ERROR: cpu exception in dosemu code outside of VM86()!

Any thoughts? I'm running kernel 2.2.14, compiled the thing with pgcc, and
i've tried all the different settings for $_mapping without any apparent

Hi all,
I've breaking my head with this small problem of sending arrow keys to
dosemu from the shell. I could not find in docs (README.txt) etc the
sequence that needs to be sent for dosemu to interpret it as a down arrow
key. So, I'm trying to send the whole escape sequence ^[[B but invain.
Here is what I'm doing at the mo.
#/usr/bin/dos -I 'keystroke "\r\rfp.exe\r\^[[B"'
(there are few more keystrokes after that which I've not included..)
Any help or clue would be greatly appreciated.
OTOH, sending 'ESC' character works fine most of the time but this
specific dos program does not take it in..any ideas why?

It is done by send \M8 (for down arrow) etc...

Subject: How can I get a cursor in xdos?
I run IBM Passport for dos, which I need to establish a session
with a mainframe host.
Everything works great until my session on the mainframe actually
begins, at which time the cursor disappears. I've tried diddling
with every video and graphics setting in the X-window section of
the dosemu config file, but with no change. (None of the
settings in the application help either--not suprising since
everything is fine in native dos and dosemu at the console.)
I can get a cursor if I run the application under xtermdos, but
the terminal emulation is way too flaky. I'd use the console but
I absolutely need to be able to cut and paste.
I'd be very greatful if anyone could give a clue about something
new to try. (Better yet, a flat out solution!)

It simply doesn't work yet. This includes all 16 color modes.

Subject: printer port works ?!?
Hi Y'all,
This isn't my first query on this matter, so I thought I would
try again and hopefully have better luck getting a response this
time.
I'm running RH 6.1 on an AMD K6-2/500 with 96 meg of RAM, the
dosemu version in question is:
dosemu-0.99.13.0
I used one of the 0.60 releases for a while with very good luck.
I've been fighting with the versions that came with the last
couple of RH releases with discouragingly little luck :(.
I need to run microcontroller programmers and EPROM programmers
and to get fully over to linux, this HAS to happen. I've been
head bashing for the past couple of days on this now (current
attempt), and if the answer is in the docs, I missed it :(.
I've also tried the #linix IRC channels on several of the IRC
networks and it seems that I am the only one trying to use dosemu
:(.
Basically all I want to do is to access the parallel port
(PC/x86) at 378 - it is currenly configured as an EPP/ECP (v1.7)
[1.9 didn't work either].
I am *TERMINALLY* confused as to how to do this, nothing I have
tried in the dosemu.conf file has made ANY difference (the port
remains unaccessable). I'm going to delete this and reinstall
the RPM for it to get back to a known point, I'm more than sure
that the installation is fully scrambled at this point for all
the thrashing I have been doing :-(.
Any help would be most appreciated. MORE THAN YOU KNOW!
Thanks for any assistance you can provide, I will be most
greatful!
Take care, Vikki.
