Subject=3A ANNOUNCE=3A VGA Mode 12h support in dosemu X11
Good news=2C
This is to announce an implementation of Mode 12h support
for dosemu under X11 using instruction emulation=2E
The hack was done by David Hindman=2C who adapted the methods
of bochs for use in dosemu=2E
At this stage it would be good if people interested in
mode 12h X11 support downloaded the files and tested it
with thier configurations=2E
http=3A=2F=2Fwww=2Eio=2Ecom=2F=7Edhindman=2FVGAMode12h=2Findex=2Ehtml
Depending on the type of application=2C performance is
not too bad=2E =28I have been using protel easytrax with
a 466MHz celeron quite acceptably =2D Yes I know that
the original application ran fast on a 386=2E=2E=2E=2E=29

Good news indeed=21 It should not be too difficult to adapt this to support
other planar modes 0Dh to 11h as well=2E
A few things I wondered about=3A
1=2E the README says=3A
Borland=27s BGI requires the old IBM 8x8 ASCII font table to be present
at memory address F000=3AFA6E=2E This hack loads a 8x8 font table at the
expected addresses when VGA mode 12h is entered=2E =28I sure hope nothing
important lives there=2E=29 The font I used is ugly but free=2E
I wonder whether this is necessary =28it is not for me=29=2E It used to be =
in
0=2E98=2E*=2C but was fixed somewhere in the 0=2E99 series=2C and now copie=
s this
font from the real BIOS=2E Or are there some BIOSes which don=27t include t=
his
font any more=3F
2=2E Isn=27t there some double work going on here w=2Er=2Et=2E the cpuemu c=
ode=2C
which is present in 0=2E99=2Ex but not in 1=2E0=2E0=3F

It could well be possible to speed=2Doptimize the emulation by throwing in
some assembly language=2E

Quite possibly=2E Neither David or I have really been following
dosemu development=2E When 1=2E0=2E0 came out and and mode 12h wasn=27t
supported=2C we looked at the problem from the 1=2E0=2E0 code point
of view=2E
Basically we worked out vmware worked=2C then so did bochs=2E Bochs
was now lgpl and so the source was there=2E At that point David Hindman
really quickly went ahead and produced an implementation=2E
If there is a wider cpuemu effort=2C this code should definitely
be rolled in there=2E This really has been one of the =22scratch your
own itch=22 implementations=2E
=28apologies to people working in the cpuemu effort=2C we really
didn=27t mean to duplicate other work=29

Well=2C it is necessary =28I didn=27t check carefully enough=29=2E I have t=
ested it
now =2C and indeed it works for Borland BGI applications=2E The copy of the
real BIOS font does not occur under X=2C because of security reasons I
think; you need to open =2Fdev=2Fmem=2C so you need root permissions in
general=2C to do this=2E
The font is ugly indeed=2E I wonder about the copyright of the old IBM
fonts=2E
I=27ll try to get it to work with more applications and also for more modes
than just 0x12=2C that is=2C modes 0xD to 0x11=2E Let=27s see whether I can=

so 1=2E0=2Ex has no cpuemu=2E For the upcoming 1=2E1=2Ex there is a rework =
of
cpuemu pending=2C so we can=27t rely on the code in the near future anyway=

If possible=2C try using LREDIR=2C or the bootdir code=2E In both cases=2C =
just
mount the partition under Linux and tell DOSEMU to use it=2E If you need to

file open in the application=21 =28i=2Ee=2E in another dosemu session=29=2E=
You
can see that this is not a good state of affairs=21=21 ;=2D=29
My question is=3A Has this behaviour changed in ver 1=2E0 =3F=3F If so I
will upgrade immediately=2E Otherwise I will have to look elsewhere=2E=2E=

It should be possible to make DOSEMU behaviour similar to plain DOS;
I do not know=2C how to make this well =2D each of my ideas have some
problems =28file below refers to a file on a local Linux filesystem=29;
1=2E Select some magic offset beyond end of real file =28should be
run=2Dtime configurable perhaps=29=2E Once a file is opened in DOSEMU sessi=
on
place a shared lock for 1=2Dbyte region at this offset;
Remove file operation would be translated to=3A
open file
place an exclusive lock at said region
remove file
close it
Problems with this method are that there is no guarantee that DOS apps
will not use the same offset for locking
2=2E For each accessed file make a zero=2Dlength flag file named like the
original file plus some suffix =28would not work with filesystems allowing
only short file names=29
; MFS would be modified in such a way that this flag files would not be
visible under DOSEMU
for each file opened the flag file would be also opened and shared
file lock placed
Remove file operation would be translated to=3A
open flag file=2C
place exclusive file lock on it
remove original file
close flag file and remove it
3=2E Similar to 2=2E=2C only flag files would have identical names=2C but
be located in a separate directories tree =2D mapping would have to be
somehow specified to dosemu;
This might be made more general by using region locks rather than file
locks =2D we would then have opportunity to implement DOS=2Dspecific open
modes=2C etc=2E

Hey
Running RedHat 6=2E2 I today needed to run good old DOS 5=2E0=2C I got that

So I tried to use DOSEMU 0=2E99=2E13=2D6=2E
At first it didn=27t work out=2E
I copied all files over from the diskette=2E
I found that it was because IBM use ibmbio=2Esys =2B ibmdos=2Esys instead o=

Next problem was an old game I tried needing EMS memory=2C my current
problem is now that IBM use a program called EMM386=2Eexe to get this EMS

I think you've answered your own thing here. DOSEMU doesn't magically give
you any more CPU. IF you application is CPU intensive under normal DOS it
will remain CPU intensive (and in fact use *more* CPU) under DOSEMU.

There are some optimisations that can be made, but they depend upon the
software and the environment. For example, hogthreshold can be changed. If
using X then the update interval can be changed. You may be running into
memory issues depending upon how much memory this task requires and what
you have told DOSEMU to allocate per user.
Nobody but you knows if that machine will handle the load -- only you know
what the software is, how much of the resources are needed per session,
etc.

Hello! Today, on impulse, I decided to see if I could get AutoCAD r12

emulation and definitely won't work in other contexts. Well, it
doesn't work under CPU emulation. Any idea of what I might try to

Its the same you find in global.conf (README-tech). '-I' needs basic
configuration statements, $_hdimage has already been parsed and
will not be parsed again.

Okay, so what's the command line args to use, using the default
global.conf that came with version 1.0.0, that would override the
drive settings specfied in dosemu.conf?
I'm thinking it should be easy to specify a different hard drive
config on the command line.

Not via -I, this isn't intended to overwrite all settings. There are security
issues involved too. What _I_ do to boot differently is
- have a /etc/dosemu.conf (wrapper) such as
include "dosemu.conf.real"
ifdef u_project1
$_hdimage = "boot1"
endif
ifdef u_project2
$_hdimage = "boot2"
endif
- then start dosemu with
$ dos -u project1
or
$ dos -u project2
or
$ dos
The later will take what you have as default in $_hdimage.
The names projectX, bootX are only an example, you may name them
as you like.
If you use setup-dosemu to change your configuration, then you have to
change '/etc/dosemu.conf' within the 'System wide' button of menu
'DOSEMU run-time Configuration' to '/etc/dosemu.conf.real'.
An other alternative would be to set
$_hdimage = $MY_DOSEMU_HDIMAGE
in normal /etc/dosemu.conf and start DOSEMU such as
$ export MY_DOSEMU_HDIMAGE=myhdimage; dos
However, this /etc/dosemu.conf would not be parseable by setup-dosemu
and you would prefer to have a wrapper anyway such as
include "dosemu.conf.real"
$_hdimage = $MY_DOSEMU_HDIMAGE
And, be _very_ carefull, because you can now have _any_ device/hdimage,
even a wrong one.

if it were that easy, then it also would be dangerous.

It should be possible. I suspect it simply takes a config. option or
so, but I don't know enough to know which one.
It *can* be done under VMware; it's just slow as heck and I don't have
time to write an ADI driver that would make it reasonably fast
(besides, I think the VMware video API is proprietary.) But write the
VMware people; if there's enough customer requests, they might just do
the driver.

If the pharlap dos extender plays nice with dpmi (most of the do). It
should just be a matter of enabling dpmi in dosemu.conf.
Being able to do good cpu emulation is likely to be the focus for
the 1.1 development, and once we have the easy parts like 16bit real
mode working we will likely start on ring0 protected mode emulation.
It is likely to be a little while though.

Dosemu provides an environment for dos to run so files=125 buffers=25
is the right answer.
The version of dos you are running might also affect it...

1) *Don't* use HTML for when sending to mailing lists. (And if you
*MUST* then include a plain text version as well)
2) Exactly the same way. DOSEMU simply allows you to run a version of DOS.
Your problem might be that you are using DOS/C (which is shipped with
DOSEMU). This doesn't handle this. Try installing a copy of IBM/MS/DR-DOS.
