Have you tried it ? I have to say that I don't think it would work, but
more because I don't think that DOS would cope, rather than because DOSEMU
would have a problem. I also can't see any reason for wanting to do this.
I *don't* propose to test this -- I don't have any data to lose if it goes
wrong.
However, LREDIR will let you do this if you have the drive mounted under
linux -- and I have tested this! If you gave direct access to the drive
under DOSEMU then you might also manage to make SUBST work as well.

Subject: scsi cdrom question
dear all,
i got my plextor scsi cdrom to work, but i think i cheated. here's what
works:
# ll /var/lib/dosemu/drives/
drwxr-xr-x 5 root 1024 Apr 30 13:21 C
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 19 Apr 30 13:22 D -> /usr/local/dosemu/D
drwxr-xr-x 2 root 1024 Apr 30 12:58 E
drwxr-xr-x 2 root 1024 Apr 30 12:58 F
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 7 Apr 30 12:58 G -> /cdrom/
and in /etc/dosemu.conf:
$_hdimage="drives/*"
so the cdrom drive gets treated like a normal hard drive. but i'd like for
dosemu to be able to mount/unmount the cdrom drive (which it can't do under
this configuration).
here's what i've done to get the cdrom drive working as a scsi cdrom instead
of a drive:
in /etc/dosemu.conf:
$_aspi = "scd0:CD-ROM"
in autoexec.bat:
c:\windows\command\mscdex.exe /d:cdrom.sys
in config.sys:
DEVICE=ASPI.SYS
devicehigh=c:\commands\cdrom.sys
i *thought* this should be it. can someone please help me out here?
thanks!

This should be:

In autoexec.bat:
lh c:\windows\command\mscdex.exe /d:cdrom001
The /d: argument specifies the name of the cdrom drive for config.sys

optional.

I haven't checked this -- I don't have a SCSI cdrom, and my IDE cdrom is
currently not connected -- but ...
Can I just check which 'cdrom.sys' you are using? Is it the DOSEMU
supplied one, or the one you use under DOS ? The reason for checking this
is that the section of the README which deals with CDROMs states that the
internal driver works fine -- even with SCSI CD's.

Subject: Some characters # or blank.
Hello,
I have a circa-1988 eprom programmer that is on the edge of working
under dosemu.
The last problem is :
When the software runs, it creates a text menu on the screen. Although
most of the characters are correct, there are a few text strings that
print as pound signs or blank (with no video chipset and
console/graphics disabled).
Similarly, with my chipset inserted and console/graphics enabled, the
pound characters become solid white boxes.
This is one of those dos programs that behaves similarly to curses under
*nix. As you select options on the display, it draws virtual subwindows.
Whenever it draws these subwindows, most of the text displays as a '#'
(or a white block) as previously described.
If I boot into Caldera DR-DOS, everything is ok.
This is a StormLinux/Debian (>>potato) system with dosemu 0.98
TIA,
John

I worked on this about a week ago.
It took me the better part of a day to figure it out.
The problem is that the linux box is at work, and as today is a holiday, I
can't seem to recall the actual settings.
Anyway, I found that the device string in memory for a scsi cd-rom under
dosemu is similar to MS-DOS's but has an extra zero or two.
So please try:
lh C:\DOS\mscdex.exe /d:cdrom0001
or
lh C:\DOS\mscdex.exe /d:cdrom00001
I'll check the settings I used at work tomorrow if you still haven't nailed
the proper settings.

It works alright. I don't know what Pete is using, but I used the cdrom.sys
driver supplied with dosemu 1.0.0 and it works just fine.
BTW, do we still have an EMUsuccess file?

No. It was replaced in 0.66 (well, 0.65.99.12 to be precise) with
'EMUfailure.txt' on the basis that more things ran than didn't -- for
those areas where lots of things didn't work it was because of something
fundamental, such as the CPU being in the wrong mode. (ie why you can't
run Win3.1/Enhanced mode or Windows95)
That file has some errors now -- things that we can now handle correctly
- -- and I'm looking for people who might be able to help me get the
documents up to date. Volunteers don't have to be able to commit to long
term updates (although it would be nice!), nor do they need to commit to
doing a whole document as most of them are split up into chunks (although
editors would be useful) Anyone interested should email me privately.
(And those who volunteered to do translation shouldn't think I've
forgotten them -- I just don't want to make you spend time translating
text we might not use.)

You'll have to try it under the console. It will probably work there if
you have dosemu working there.
A planar video mode such as 0x12 (640x480x16 colours) is quite difficult
to emulate with the techniques used in DOSEMU in a window (X or no
X (e.g. MS), it doesn't matter). Hans Lermen told me that Steffen
Winterfeldt thought cpu-emulation is probably the fastest way to implement
it (i.e. it would be slow).
Maybe the emulator bochs (www.bochs.com) can do it. I haven't tried.

Hi. I am using dosemu-1.0.0 with kernel 2.2.15pre10 and I am having
problems when programs exit. I am not sure it happens on all
programs, but I have at least one or two which after exiting the
prompt never returns and sometimes the programs never exit, but get a
sigsegv during file close and exit abnormally. I have no log entries
to do with this right now I tried
dos -P dos-debug.log
but the file was empty.
I actually think this has to do with some weird dos extender which the

this is in /etc/dosemu.conf, right? the format of all the entries are
defintiely of the form
$_variable = " "
for strings or
$_variable = ( )
for numbers or off/on booleans. what version of dosemu are you using?
yikes! :-(
here's what i get from dosemu bootup:
No ASPI devices configured.
Installation aborted.
[dosemu cdrom driver installed (V0.2)]
C:\>PATH=C:\dos;C:\dos-alt;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;
C:\>lh C:\DOS\mscdex.exe /d:cdrom001
Device driver not found: 'CDROM001'.
No valid CDROM device drivers selected
i think this narrows down one problem. it looks like a problem is in
/etc/dosemu.config with the line
$_aspi = "scd0:CD-ROM"
my cdrom IS /dev/scd0, but i'll try changing the above line to:
$_aspi = "sg0:CD-ROM"
so now i boot and get:
[ASPI driver installed]
[dosemu cdrom driver installed (V0.2)]
C:\>PATH=C:\dos;C:\dos-alt;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;
C:\>lh C:\DOS\mscdex.exe /D:CDROM001 /L:E
Device driver not found: 'CDROM001'.
No valid CDROM device drivers selected
progress is made. so now the aspi driver is loaded, but "cdrom001" is not
found. ok, i'll add the extra zero.
[ASPI driver installed]
[dosemu cdrom driver installed (V0.2)]
C:\>PATH=C:\dos;C:\dos-alt;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;
C:\>lh C:\DOS\mscdex.exe /D:CDROM0001 /L:E
Illegal option
usage: MSCDEX [/E/K/S/V] [/D:<driver> ... ] [/L:<letter>] [/M:<buffers>]
so "cdrom0001" is an illegal option?
i'm sure that i'm using the cdrom.sys that came with dosemu. positive, in
fact.
any other guesses?

Subject: CDROMs
hi,
here is some information about MS-DOS in its various brain deadness.
i'm not sure how much this applies to freedos, i haven't tried that
yet.
i found this out one day while trying to load my cdrom driver as
"cdrom" ie
DEVICE=C:\<vendor>.sys /d:CDROM
this caused a problem when i then tried to create a directory of the
name "CDROM" in which to store said driver.
what happened was that the cdrom driver created a device file (we like
device files) named CDROM. MS-DOS makes all the device files
available from every directory! thus you can somewhat check to see if
a directory exists by checking if <dir>\NUL or which ever you choose.
the reasoning (if any) behind this probably stems from a non-rooted
drive system (C:, D:, etc ad nausium) and the need to get at device
files. somewhere i read that at one point you had to specify
\dev\<device> or some such. as of MS-DOS 6.xx all you have to specify
is <device>.
so when i went to create the directory, the device file already
existed! taking up that name. MORAL, give devices weird names like
MSCD000x or SCSIMGR$, *nobody* would want to create a file named that!
another neat trick that MS-DOS does is that you can actually see what
that mysterious device name that our "cdrom.sys" by typing "mem /d/p"
(/d does a lot of diagnostics and /p (like dir) causes the screen to
"page"). doing this while cdrom.sys is loaded shows "mscd0001".
(note: since these device nodes are using the same namespace as the
directory structure, mscdex might be expecting 8.3 file names...)
if you have multiple cdrom devices, the README-tech.txt advises to add
a line that says
cdrom { /dev/<CDROMx> }
(this can be done in dosemu.conf, global.conf doesn't appear to make
*any* mention of 'cdrom', and it will get set correctly)
for *each* cdrom you wish to use, where <CDROMx> is cdrom, cdrom1,
(cdroms/cdrom0, cdroms/cdrom1 for us sneaky bastards using devfsd).
then just add
DEVICE=C:\CDROM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\CDROM.SYS x
for each cdrom, with the second and following lines used for every
cdrom past the first. (note: i have two cdroms, one a IDE DVD-ROM and
the other a SCSI Ricoh CDRW, both work in this fashion)
another note: devfs really stomps on some assumptions which dosemu
makes regarding device files!!!!! is there any plan to rectify this
in the future? (personal prejudice, i find having *maybe* forty
device files in a directory sexy, ie non of the pty* vcs* nightmare of
redundancy) of note is the handling of forms of
"/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/partX" not working at all, thus a
symlink and the resulting confusion that produces (does not correctly
check for mounted filesystems!).
a quick look at the strings dump of ASPI.SYS shows that it defines
SCSIMGR$, but no mention of anything relating to CD. note: CDROM.SYS
defines both MSCD0001 and MSCD00z. i have Adaptec EZ-SCSI. the
ASPIxDOS.SYS drivers all define SCSIMGR$, like ASPI.SYS. do we need
another device driver to load in the glue between the SCSIMGR$ and the
MSCD0001? i'm guessing that if you had a SCSI device with DOS drivers
you might also have a device driver that plugs in to the SCSIMGR$...
HTH,

Subject: MATROX Mill 2 + RR Studio
hello,
i have a Matrox Mill 2 + Rainbow Runner Studio addon card. (i think
this does weird stuff to driver assumptions, though i don't know :)
here's an interesting problem. when i specify $_chipsets = "matrox"
in dosemu.conf, dosemu crashes with a register dump. this only
started happening between 1.0.0 and the last few development series.
however, leaving $_chipsets undefined produces a Warning, and defining
$_chipsets to "" makes life happy.
Q: what changed to make this fail? i don't believe i have "upgraded"
the Video Bios in a while. its the current Mill2/RR most recent bios
(1.4 RR). and only the chipsets line causes dosemu to bail.
what exactly does the chipset line allow in this case? the Video Bios
still loads when dosemu starts...
releavant video options:
$_video = "vga"
$_console = (on)
$_graphics = (on)
$_videoportaccess = (on)
#$_vbios_seg = (0xc000)
#$_vbios_size = (0x10000)

This is especially apparent in our programmes which have a screen saver feature. The
screen saver routine is pretty simple and does some screen writes and some Novell
semaphore checking. It does also occur in some other programmes which while just
sitting there also do behind the scenes stuff like semaphore checking. Haven't
established exactly what is the difference as yet.
I haven't determined conclusively what happens but sometimes the programmes get "stack
overflow" errors, sometimes just lock permanently, sometimes get a network error
(DOSEMU still OK), and other times the programmes just "freeze" and then magically
come back into life after 10+ minutes (and show keypresses which had been stored while
the progamme had "froze").
Is it possible that Linux / DOSEMU has some kind of idle detection which is being
activiated when our programmes are in that state (eg screen saver) and this causes our
session to go into some kind of "sleep" state? As our programme is in fact still doing
certain things (eg semaphore checking) these commands could be building up in the
stack to either cause an error or a long delay to bring the session back alive if it
does recover?
I am working on getting good debug files to help diagnose this. I am also isolating
the offending code(s) in our programmes and will post here when I have that. I just
wondered if the above symptoms are obvious to someone.
Some more tidbits :-
1 When the session is "frozen" (temp or perm) DOSEMU debugs of keyboard /
network activity etc still go on looking normal.
2 When the session is "frozen" and I press a key to do something (eg get out of
screen saver or something else) the CPU util in TOP for that DOSEMU session goes up to
>90%.
Any ideas on where I can look further to see what is happening?

if you know exactly from which development version 0.99.? the troubles
began, the patch might give a clue. It's a bit of trouble of course,
but if you're eager to find out ...
$_chipset="plainvga" might work; console switching from graphics might be

There is a bug in the matrox code which appears in 0.99.13.1 and a patch
for it which will be included in the 1.0.1 However, there is currently
another bug we are trying to squash before 1.0.1 is released.

Since you are using mscdex.exe, please try to use /D:mscd0001 and not
/D:CDR0M0001.
It would also help if you'd do a "mem/d > memstrs.txt" and look for the
mscd??? line.
I found out the proper device name to use through that.

i've noticed that my mouse in general works under console dosemu, but every
so often, gpm goes haywire and the cursor makes a bee line to the upper
right corner. i can make the cursor leave the corner if i move the mouse
veeeerrrryyyy slooowwwwllllyyyyy. but the instant it goes to fast, BOOM.
it goes back to the upper right corner.
this is definitely gpm because when it happens, all my virtual consoles
suffer until i restart gpm or "reset" the mouse (see below).
i can "reset" the mouse by doing something to change the screen on one of my
virtual consoles. pressing enter a few times usually does the trick.
clicking one of the buttons sometimes does the trick too.
but invariably, after i "reset" the mouse, the problem happens again. and i
can reset it again. the only way to solve the problem completely is to
restart gpm.
i'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly is causing gpm to freak
out in the first place. sometimes it seems like if the mouse moves too
quickly the problem will appear.
but note -- this never happens while console dosemu is not running. in
other words, my mouse has been working flawlessly for the year and half that
i've been running linux.
one last tidbit of info. when i start x, the mouse pointer suffers in a
similar way. i'm a little confused by this -- gpm is for the mouse in
console, not X. then why would this have an effect on my X mouse cursor?
i have a logitech 3 button mouse with a ps2 interface. on the bottom it
says "m c48". in xf86config, IMPS/2 is the protocol i use. in
libvga.config, IMPS2 does the trick. i start gpm with
/usr/sbin/gpm -t imps2 -m /dev/mouse
any thoughts on the matter?
thanks!

This message is to inform you of the existance of a program a friend sent me. I hope
that this program will interest you. You
will find below the content of the e-mail she sent me. I must send this message to
everyone if I want to make money. My

money from home with the wonderfull tool
that is Internet. If we give it a try, by devoting 30 minutes to one hour per day, it

this wonderful, exceptionnal and profit-earning business plan to develop at home.
Consequently, I invite you to read
attentively what follows and think that this is another scam because it seams too easy.
WHAT WAS SHOWN ON TV
Here is what you could have seen on tv recently. Because of the great popularity of
this letter on the Internet, an important
evening news program has devoted an entire broadcast to analyze if the following
program could really generate money. In this
broadcast, the letter was also analyzed to see if it was proposing something legal.
What was discovered prooves once and for
all that there is no law in America that fordids anyone from participating in this
kind of work. This helped to demonstrate
that it is a simple and pleasant way to make extra money at home. There are a lot of
people implicated in this business.
Since more and more people make a lot of money with this program, it becomes very
stimulating to join it. You will understand
when you�ll experiment it !
*******************************************************************************
THE BUSINESS PLAN
(Print the following section to send it in the future)
EASY WAY TO MAKE MONEY
The increadible opportunity of this business plan is that it allows to begin by
investing a very small amount of money, as
well as generating extraordinary revenus. If you have the intention to make for
example $50,000 in less than 90 days, this
business plan will allow you to reach your financial goal !
A LEGITIMATE AND LEGAL OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY
Multilevel E-mail Report Business won its nobility rank. This is taught in the
prestigious Harvard University at its
specialized business school. The Stanford Research Centre and the Wall Street Journal
foresee that 50% to 65% of all goods
and services will soon by sold by the Multilevel E-Mail Business system. It is a
growing industry of several millions that is
expanding everyday. Among the 500,000 millionnaires of United States, 20% of them,
that is to say, 100,000, won their fortune
in investing in a network business. Statistics show that there are 50 new
millionnaires every day from network
commercialization.
TESTIMONY
Last year, Donald Trump was at the David Letterman tv show. Letterman asked him what
he would do if he lost all his
belongings and if he had to start from scratch. Without hesitation, Trump replied that
he would find a good networking
business and would start working there. The audience started to manifest its
opposition. He then looked at the audience and
said (insisting on these words): � This is the reason why I�m sitting here and you,
you�re over there. �
The information that you will find here is something I would usually let go.
Hopefully, a bit later, I read everything again,
I tought about it and I studied the proposal in depth. My name is Jacques Brault. Two
years ago, the business I worked for
the last 12 years decided to reduce its staff and by job was abolished. After several
infructuous interviews to find a job, I
decided to start my own business. Last year, I encountered financial difficulties. I
borrowed more thant 35 000 $ from family
members and friends. The economy didn�t help my business and I couldn�t see the day
when I would get out of this cycle. I had
to borrow again by morgaging my house to help my family and continue my business
venture.
Its about then that something very important happened in my life and I write this in
order to share with you my experience
hoping that it will change also your life for ever on the financial level. By mid
december, I received this program by
e-mail. Six months ago, I had asked for information regarding different business
opportunities. All the programs that I had
found were too difficult to understand or their initial investment was too high.
I never asked to receive the information about this present business opportunity.
Someone discovered my nane in a postal
list. After reading the message several times, I couldn�t believe my eyes. I had in my
hands a phenomenal method to make
money ! I could invest the amount of money I wanted in the beginning, without
generating more depts. After I took some paper
and pen, I analyzed it all and realized that the minimum I could receive was to
recover the money I had invested. But, as
most of you, I was still a bit sceptical and worried about the legal aspect of this
all. Then, I checked this with the postal
services at # 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed that it was effectively legal. After
making sure that it was legal and that
the system didn�t consist of a chain of letters (meaning something pyramidal), I
decided : � And why not me ! �.
Initial investment
At the beginning of my project, I sent 10 000 e-mails. My initial inverstment cost me
$20 to purchase four reports. One
formidable aspect of the e-mails is that it doesn�t cost anything for the printing of
the message and of the reports :
because all the informations are transmitted by e-mail and that this way of
communicating virtually doesn�t require the same
supports as those of traditionnal communications. The only investment to consider is
your time : the time you spend on
development of your business.
First step of the project
The goal of this system is to receive at least a minimum of 20 orders of REPORT # 1
during the first two weeks of the
project. If you don�t reach this goal, send more messages until you rise to it. Within
a week, I started to receive orders
for REPORT # 1. At January 13, I had already received 26 orders for REPORT # 1. The
goal of my project was to gain $50,000 :
I had reached this goal.
Second step of the project
The goal is to receive a minimum of 100 orders and more for REPORT # 2 within two
weeks. Otherwise, you must send more
messages until you reach this goal. At January 30, I had received 196 orders for
REPORT # 2.
Third step of the project
The rest of the project is easy. Relax ! You will attain your goal of $50,000 in no
time. So I had 196 orders for REPORT # 2,
96 more than my initial goal. So, I rested and relaxed. At the beginning of the month
of March, I had received $58,000 for
the sending of my first 10 000 e-mails. Everyday, more was coming in. I paied all my
depts and bought a new car.
This program works. Please, take the time to read this message. This will change your
life forever. Remember, it won�t work
unless you try it. I�m the living proof that I works! If you choose not to participate
in this program, I�m sorry. You�re
free to decide. I certify that it constitutes a great opportunity, a low cost
investment at minimum risk. If you choose to
participate, follow this program well and you will be on the road of financial
security. If you�re a business person,
consider this as a sign of times. This is what I did ! Sincerely ! Signed : Jacques
Brault.
GOLDEN RULES OF THE PROGRAM
For this program to work, you must obtain more than :
- - 20 orders of REPORT # 1 ;
- - 100 orders and more of REPORT # 2 ;
- - and you will gain more than $50,000 in 90 days.
NOTE FROM THE PROGRAM CREATOR
By reading this program and its reports, you will conclude that it couldn�t havec been
designed by an amateur. Let me
introduce myself. Ten years ago, I had a business that worked well. Then, in 1979, my
business started to go wrong. I was
doing sensibly the same thing than when business was doing well. At last, I ended all
of this.
You just received information that will lead you to financial freedom for the rest of
your life without any risk and a little
bit of efforts. In the next months, you will have the possibility to gain more money
than you ever imagined. I made more than
$4,000,000 ! I retired from this program after sending more thant 16 000 programs.
Actually, I own several offices that work
on this business and I have several other of these programs here and oversees.
TESTIMONY FROM ANOTHER PARTICIPANT
Mr. Jos� Jacobs (Richmond, VA)
Follow this program exactly according to its instructions. Don�t change anything ! It
works extremely well as presented now.
Remember that you must send a copy of this excellent report to anyone you think about.
One of these persons could send the
message to 50 000 others, and your name would be on each of them. Dont�t forget also
that the more you send e-mails et the
more chances you�ll have of reaching potential clients. I gave you ideas, information,
the tools and the opportunity to
become financially independant. It�s up to you to try it ! Think about it !
But first of all, take the time to read and to really think about this proposal. Take
a pen and some paper and discover how
it�s going to happen when you�ll participate. Take the worst response you could obtain
and no matter how you�ll calculate it,
you will make a lot of money. You will definitively recuperate your initial
investment. All the initial doubts you had at the
beginning will disappear when you�ll receive your first order. Because it works !
P R O G R A M D E S C R I P T I O N
INSTRUCTIONS
This method allowing to accumulate capital works if you participate in it. This method
is not a chain of letters (nor a
pyramidal system) but a legal opportunity to make money.
Essentially, here is what we do. As for all multiple level business networks, we
construct our business by recruting new
partners and we sell them our products. In all the states of United States and in
Canada, it is legal to enlist new partners
for your business and with this method, you need a product for each amount of money
received.
Orders are sent to you by mail and you transmit your REPORTS (your products) by
e-mail, this way, you are not personally
implicated in the sale, you don�t have to do door to door sollicitation. You
accomplish all your business workin private from
your own home, your store or your office. This is the largest multiple level business
network of postal orders.
1 - ORDER THE REPORTS : Order each of the 4 REPORTS described below (you won�t be
able to sell them if you don�t order
them).
To receive each of the 4 REPORTS, send by mail to the person listed below with the
number of the REPORT:
- - a bill of $5 (or its equivalent in another currency) ;
- - the name and the # of the REPORT you are ordering ;
- - your e-mail address ;
- - your postal return address (in case of problem).
When you place an order, make sure that you are ordering each of the 4 REPORTS. You
should save each of the 4 REPORTS in your
computer in order to be able to sell them later. A few days later, you will receive,
through your electronic mailbox, these
four REPORTS. Save them in your computer : they will be accessible later when you�ll
send them to the thousands of people
that will order them.
2 - RESPECT THE ORDRE OF THE NAMES : Be very careful not to modify the names of the
persons listed besides each REPORT and
their order on the list in a way that would be different from the one mentionned in
the following steps. Otherwise, you might
as well annihilate your efforts and your potential financial gains. When you will
really understand the way that this system
works, you will see how you wouldn�t be advantaged if you changed something to the
list of names. Remerber: this method has
been tested over several years now and, if you modify it the slightest, it just might
not work anymore.
a) Take a look at the list of REPORTS available (there are 4 of them) :
b) After having ordered the 4 REPORTS and having seen them, replace the name and the
address of REPORT #1 by your own name
and address. You will then become the recognized distributer of REPORT #1. And then,
the ancien name of REPORT #1 will become
associated with #2.
c) Move the name and address that was placed next to REPORT #2 to the REPORT #3.
d) Move the name and address that was placed next to REPORT #3 to the REPORT #4.
e) The name and address of the person that was placed next to REPORT #4 is removed
from the list. This person has probably
gained a large sum of money. Once again, make sure that you carefully recopy each name
and address.
3 - SAVE THE DOCUMENTS : Entirely save this letter (including the modified names and
addresses). Make no more changes to the
instruction section.
4 - SEND THE LETTER EVERYWHERE : Frontiers don�t exist in Internet... So, don�t
hesitate to conquest foreign markets.
Your cost of participating in this project is practically worthless: $20!, and
evidently, you already have an Internet
connexion, and it doesn�t cost anything to send e-mails.
HOW TO MAKE SURE THERE WILL BE LOTS OF PEOPLE AFTER YOU
METHOD # 1 : SEND VERY LARGE QUANTITIES OF E-MAILS
Let�s say that you decide to start on a small scale, just to see how it�s going to
work. Suppose that you and the people that
follow you send 2000 programs each. Suppose also that the postal responses are on a
scale of 0,5%. (By using the right lists,
the response could be much better). Moreover, a lot of people will send thousands of
programs instead of just 2000. But, lets
continue with this example when you send 2000 programs.
With 0,5% response, there would be only 10 orders for the REPORT #1. And these 10
people would send each 2000 other programs
for a total of 20 000. Of these 20 000 people with a response of 0,5%, you would
obtain 100 orders for the REPORT #2. These
100 persons would then send 2000 programs each, for a total of 200 000 programs sent
and a response rate of 0,5% would bring
you 2000 orders for the REPORT #3.
And these 1000 persons that would send 2000 programs each for a total of 2,000,000
vous order 10,000 REPORT #4. That would be
10,000 times $5 for you. Paid in cash! Your total income for this example would be of
$50 + $500 + $5000 + $50 000 for a
total of $55,550 !!!
Don�t forget that it is by supposing that 1990 persons on 2000 won�t send anything by
mail and will throw everything in the
garbage, that you will nonetheless succeed. Try to thing about what would happen if
only half of the sollicited persons would
send 100,000 programs instead of 2000. Believe me, several persons will do exactly as
that and even more.
The REPORT #2 will explain you the best methods for transmitting large amounts of
e-mails and will indicate you also where to
get software designed for sending bulk e-mail. Moreover, this report will indicate you
where to obtain e-mail lists.
METHOD #2 : PLACE ADDS ON THE INTERNET
Advertizing on the Internet is very cheap and there exists hundreds of free web sites
where you can set advertising.
Let�s say that you decide to start on a small scale just to see how it works. Suppose
that your goal is to find 10 persons
for participating at your first level. However, if you set a lot of free advertising
on the Internet, you will get a larger
response than the 10 orders expected. But, let�s consider that you would get 10
responses at a first stage.
1st LEVEL : You get 10 members : 10 X $5 = $50
2nd LEVEL : Your 10 members recruit 10 others : 100 X $5 = $500
3rd LEVEL : These 100 persons recruit 10 others : 1000 X $5 = $5,000
4th LEVEL : These 1000 persons recruit 10 others : 10 000 X $5 = $50,000
TOTAL : $55,550
This example supposes that the participants will only recruit 10 persons each. Think
about what would happen if each person
would recruit 20 persons ! Several of these participants will obtain 100 persons and
more for their first level.
About 50,000 new persons will begin this program every month.
HERE ARE THE 4 REPORTS AND WHERE YOU CAN ORDER THEM
NOTE - Always send $5 (or its equivalent in another device) in cash for each of the 4
REPORTS.
Always send your order by postal mail with a first class service. Make sure that the
money is sufficiently hidden in the
enveloppe between 2 sheets of paper and on one of these sheets, write :
- - the # and the name of the REPORT that you are ordering ;
- - your e-mail address ;
- - your postal address ;
- - your postal address on top of the enveloppe (in case of problem).
Don�t forget to sollicitate your family and friends !

SUCCESS RULES OF THUMBS
- - Consider this plan as a business plan of your own.
- - Order the 4 REPORTS immediately! (you will have them available when orders will
start to arrive). According to the law,
when you receive an order with $5, you must send the corresponding product in order to
conform to United States and Canadian
by-laws regarding postal shipment and lotery by-laws.
- - Always provide service the same day of the reception of the order.
- - Be patient and persistant with this program. If you don�t receive 20 orders for
the REPORT #1 within 2 weeks after starting
your advertizing on the Internet, continue sending e-mails until you reach this goal.
Then, a few weeks later, you should
receive at least 100 orders for the REPORT #2. If you don�t receive this amount of
orders, continue sending more e-mails
until you reach this goal. Once you receive 100 orders or more of REPORT #2, you can
start relaxing ! From this point, the
system will fonction by itself and money will continue to circulate in the system.
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
Everytime that your name is put on the list, you are placed in a different state of
status. You can follow your own
progression by observing the quantity of reports of each number # that the
participants will order. If you decide to generate
more income, you can send another series of e-mails and start over the process. There
is no limit to the income you could
gain from this program !

Apreciated sirs;
Acquired Suse 6.3, which comes with DosEmu 0.98.8
I have installed but have problems on using
the emulator. During necessary writing on the
disc the message appears
> "Sector not found error on drive C"
> Abort, Retry, Continue or fail?_
Of equal manner, when i try to create a directory
with md no appearance of message at all but neither
is the directory created .
For us results are very important on the confuguration
of the dosemu, given that managing various DOS applications
that we have that are impossible substitute on short period.
Thanks in advance for the help that we (?) may offer
on respect.
Cordially,

Alistair, who's handling the spanish translation of the docs?
My spanish is _very_ rusty. I doubt if I could even frame a seriously
straight answer.

Subject: dosemu compilation problem
Dear Sirs,
Yesterday evenening the
I am experiencing compilation problems with sourcecode version of Dosemu
version 0.98.8 on my Suse 6.3 Linux box (kernel 2.2.13).
The problems center around the variable "MREMAP_MAYMOVE" being
undeclared in the following file:
a) memory.c (line 220)
This caused the compilation to abort at that point.
On inspection of this file, I found that MREMAP_MAYMOVE was a switch in
the code, and hard-coded the switch. It turned out that there is at least 1 other
place where this define is used:
b) emm.c (line 520)
As I have no idea what the switch is doing, I stopped experimenting at this
point.
Next I tried to run the bugreport utility, but it crashed during compilation with
the message"
get-email.sh: 'clean-up' : not a valid identifier
./send_pr.sh: line 7655 segmentation fault ...
Please let me know if you need other further information.
Best regards
Karel Lindveld

I suggest that you download 1.0.0 and try that. You can find it at
ftp://ftp.dosemu.org/dosemu/ (and a list of mirrors at
ftp://ftp.dosemu.org/mirrors.txt )

Can you do:
/bin/sh --version
and tell me what you get.
