Subject: Freedos + DOSEMU + SAMBA
Hi Folks!
I need to solve two problems:
1) How can I use lredir-like program in Freedos ?
2) How can I generate freedos updated hdimage for DOSEMU ? DOSEMU ask for
msdos.sys and io.sys. Freedos has only KERNEL.SYS.

Only by getting one of the kernels from the Freedos project. Our tests
have show that there are still some problems with it.

Which version of DOSEMU are you using? I've just checked and
setup-hdimage is aware of FreeDOS in DOSEMU-1.0.0 and DOSEMU-0.98.8, and
presumeably earlier.

Why do you want to do this ?
To access a remote "novell" partition: Use 'ncpfs' under Linux and
'lredir' OR export the file system to the local machine & use 'lredir'
To access a local partition: Use 'lredir'
Otherwise, start by turning '_ipxsupport' on. You'll also find some
information in the README ('Networking using DOSEMU') and
doc/NOVELL-HOWTO.txt although I think both may need updating.

Subject: How to use EPSON LQ-1170 on DOSEMU ?
Hello.. I'm a newbie
I use CorelLINUX 1.1 (kernel 2.2.14)
and DOSEMU 0.98 (include in the distribution)
I also put the KDE as my window-manager
Everytime I want to print, why the DOSEMU
cannot do it as like as the real DOS act.
I mean the real DOS can connect to the LPT1 directly,
but the DOSEMU depends on the KDE printer list
(setup from kControl)
If I clear/remove all of the printer list, the DOSEMU
don't do anything on printing....
How could I use the LPT1 directly from DOSEMU
(without any emulation...)
Thanks..

xmodmap -e "keycode 107=0xffff"
4 "F"'s instead of 3?
The backspace and delete keys are nontrivial business.
I know of at least two different ways to handle backspace and delete if
xmodmap is set like stated before:
1. The xfree86 way:
Backspace generates ^H , delete generates DEL (ASCII 127)
2. The console and xterm-debian way:
Backspace generates DEL, delete generates ESC [ 3 ~
Solve problems with possibility 1:
Try
stty erase ^H
Your terminfo file (type "infocmp" at the prompt) should have
kbs=^H, kdch1=\177
and there should be no relevant *VT100.Translations in "xrdb -query"
The way to get possibility 2 in X:
stty erase ^?
terminfo has
kbs=\177, kdch1=\E[3~
and the following in .Xresources
*VT100.Translations: #override ~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta \
<Key>BackSpace: string("\177")\n\
~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta \
<Key>Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\

The bootdir now works, and in version 1.0.1 it will even work without a
boot.blk file, but in my tests lredir did not work directly.
There are other issues with Freedos's command.com (even basic stuff like
cd, dir and copy). Somebody else had problems with printing in the past.
Freedos does not use UMB's and the HMA, AFAIK; freedos uses a lot of
conventional memory. I've had some file corruption with freedos in the
past. This might be solved however. But if you like to stay on the safe
side, I would still use DR-DOS (limited version free as in beer for use
under DOSEMU; full version free as in beer for non-commercial use; see
www.drdos.com / ftp.drdos.com) or even MS-DOS including Win9x's DOS.

I need to know how you are running dosemu.
In an xterm?
On the console?
as xdos?
via telnet?
Because it makes quite a difference how we interpret keyboard strokes.

Sending the message twice doesn't make it get answered quicker 8-)
You need to tell us whether you are running 'xdos', 'xtermdos', 'dos' over
a serial line/remotely or 'dos' on a console. It would also be helpful to
see the relevant parts of your /etc/dosemu.conf and to know which version
of DOSEMU you are running.

Subject: Dosemu startup script
Ok, perhaps I should get the exact file names and lines, but I'm guessing
this is a non-too-uncommon error, and I'm guessing there's already a fix.
I just re-partitioned my hd, so that I now have 10 partitions (/dev/hda1
through /dev/hda10).
/dev/hda1 is my DOS partition, /dev/hda10 is my Linux root partition. When I
try to startup DOS (via partition access), it complains: /dev/hda1 is not
unmounted. Looking through the startup script in /usr/lib/dosemu, it checks
for mounted/unmounted partitions, but it doesn't realize that /dev/hda10 is
NOT the same as /dev/hda1, and so complains. I manually hacked it to ignore
the check, but obviously, that's NOT the same thing. I couldn't figure the
scripting language out well enough to modify the check to recognize the
difference between /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda10, at least not in 10 minutes.
Also, when running xdos, I get errors about not being able to find some
fonts (VGA, one other one), and the characters are messed up. I'm running
XFree86 4.0 - did something change between versions?
(I can get exact error messages/filenames if these aren't common errors)
Thanks,
Mattias

I'm running RH 6.2. I've tried this in a Gnome terminal, in xterm, and
in a console, all with similar results. This morning I installed a
program called "kamplus", which is a program similar to Hostmaster, but
written for Linux. I had the same trouble, and had to tell the Makefile
that my F1 key returns ^[OP after entering CTL-v, and then recompile.
Apparently that program knows what to do for F1-F4 once you tell it what
F1 does. Not being a Linux expert (but enjoying learning), I have only
a weak feel for what's going on here.
Thanks very much for the help.

I noticed it happens when INT 28h is invoked with ints disabled
(with another program). The INT 28h is serviced by DosEmu, and
seems it keeps the "ints disabled" state preventing DOS program
from receiving "keyboard interrupt". I suppose if application
invokes INT 28h in loop without enabling interrupts until it
finds keystroke in buffer it may wait forever...

Hi everyone,
I've been happily modifying my dosemu copy (patchset-1.0.0.9.tgz) without
thinking about keeping backups or such. After a couple of quick changes I
realised this and tried to find some sort of CVS to use for diffs to send
off patches. No such luck.
In a message to Jeff Bachtel dated 1998-10-16, Hans Lermen says:

Is this still the case?
Anyways:

When you installed XFree86 4.0, did you keep the old font directories
(unlikely if RPM'd) and if not, did you re-install the vga font which
comes with DOSEMU ?

i have seen this behavior on one program i run (or try to). Is there any
solution to this problem? i use dosemu everyday and love it. without

Subject: Hacking around keyboard codes (longer)
Hi!
I am trying to make dosemu's keyboard more Polish-friendly.
I downloaded and applyied keyboard path for dosemu 1.0.0
(dosemu-1.0.0.eb1.21.patchset.tar.gz)
and tryied some folks under text console.
Looking at keymaps.c i saw "pl" keyboard. That looked good, but
ocurred to be unusable for me. "auto" option worked a bit better for
me, as it gave me *some* code for *almost* every of my national char's
(but not the right codes - anyway).
There are 3 maps.
normal - key_map
upper - shift_map
alt (right) - alt_map
But in my language I have for example letter "a" and "A"
both with "," at the bottom (as if You joined these two characters into
one).
Codes I would like to have for them (for the program that I run
inside dosemu - 8bit codes) are:
"a" - 97 (60h) - world standard
"A" - 65 (41h) - world standard
"a," - 134 (86h) - local standard called Mazovia or Latin2
"A," - 143 (8fh) - same as above
So I have at least 4 cases when "a" key is pressed
- - no alt, no shift - just "a"
- - no alt but shift - just "A"
- - alt, no shift - "a,"
- - alt and shift - "A,"
Add to it, that when CapsLock is pressed it should behave as if it
had Shift pressed... Is it possible to do such things that I need
with those (only) 3 maps ?
(Where's the code, that uses them ? in old_serv_xlat.c ??? is it
used anyway? so why is it called "old"? if it isn't used why
is it in source tree ?)
Uppercasing is also a problem, 'cause its not as simple as -32 for
"normal" chars - it must be given as a table for every single char.
Ive got 3 standards of coding for polish chars in front of me:
- - Mazovia (Latin2) - doesn't broke the frames and IS the standard
- - DOS 852 codepage (don't like it too much)
- - Windows 1250 (shit!)
Anyway it doesn't really matter which of them I code in dosemu.
I can use any of them, cause my database program can change the codes
from input using recode table to internally used Mazovia (Latin2)
and then recode again using different table before displaying.
But it would be nice to have some standard kept.
So my question is: how to ? Is it possible to have it done using
today's dosemu internals, or should I change sth significantly ?
If yes - where to look, what to change ?
Would You tell me more about those 3 recode tables ?
I understand that they have 0xef?? format, where ?? is sth,
that really matters. But how it really works - especially for
alt_map ? (maybe add alt_shift_map to defs, or to uppercase method ?
and small change to recode proc - btw: where it is done ?)
The second idea is that *IF* dosemu gives proper scancodes (those
twice 8bit) I would be able to use a program that changes scancodes
to the codes I need - as I used to use such in real DOS.
Would it work anyway? I tryied to use it under 0.96 dosemu and it
didn't work.
Last thought: I think I should be able to change what char is displayed
on the console (via ssh or telnet to be exact) as chat that has code XX
?
It isn't dosemu-related ;) Where to change such things ?
I would like to have normal, 8bit frames, instead of strange
- -|+{} chars when using dosemu via ssh.
Whoa! I wrote a lognish letter... Sorry ;)
Waiting four Your words.
Grzegorz Prokopski
PS: If somebody remember - I asked about file locking some time ago.
I didn't forgot the topic and I am about to prepare a path that enables
dosemu to lock properly files on NetWare (ncp) mounted shares
(thanks go to Petr Vandrove).
Things got longer, but I am going to test it in next week.
That's a pity nobody from SAMBA team answered to my emails (3 of them)
about smbfs file locking - so it still doesn't work well.

The wording here might suggest that Mazovia is another name for Latin2,
which is incorrect;
There are 4 standards (?) for encoding Polish characters in 8 bits in
common use today on PCs:
ISO Latin-2 (CP 8859/2),
IBM Latin-2 (MS-DOS CP 852),
Mazovia,
Windows ANSI (CP 1250)
all of them different
(CP 1250 is quite similar to ISO Latin-2, i.e. 66% of codes are
identical).
Best regards,
Wojtek

O.k. things are better then they look at first glance.
With dosemu-1.0.0.eb1.21.patchset.tar.gz all of the needed
infrastructure is in place. It hasn't been taken much advantage
of yet however.

Thre is also a shift + alt keymap.
Because previous to my patchset the infrastructure was not
in place to do more nothing has yet taken advantage of it.
You get to be first :)
Currently only the de & us keymaps are have been fully converted.
In particular that means you will not see the 0xef combinations
in either keymap. What you will see is a the unicode values,
of the keys you want. This is the prefered way to handled things
now allowing you to have keymaps independant of character set encoding.

Not with those three. But that is how caps lock is currently
implemented. If a key has a letter character use the shift
variation.

The translation code is in serv_xlate.c old_ser_xlat.c is the
implementation before the rewrite. The are both present to make
it simple to test for regression and bugs by just compiling the
code differently.

If just using the shift table is suffient then we are good here.

Unless they actual keyboard layout is different you can do them
all with one keymap.
A usefull place to know about is src/base/translate/keysym_approximations.c
This has a table of approximations to use when the appriate unicode
character isn't in a character set.

shift_alt_map has already been added :)
See down at the bottom in the auto case.
Ignore the 0xef?? case, it is a backwards compatibility hack,
(I have taken part of the user defined range of unicode
and said it maps directly to whatever characters set you are using).
Much better is to actually use the unicode character you want.
Since I don't know for certain which character set the existing keymaps
were designed for, figuring out the appropriate character is difficult
and hasn't been done, except for the use & de keymaps.

Yes it will bug only in X with the keycode options & on the console
with the raw keyboard option.
It will also give you the correct scancodces via telnet etc. But only
if you have an appropriate map for dosemu to work backwards with.

This in part controlled by what external chracter set you tell dosemu you have.
But it is further complicated by what the current slang code for displaying
characters can do.
Currently dosemu cannot handle that unless you tell dosemu you terminal
is running a character set encodeing that has those chracters &
you actuallly configure you terminal to use that character set.
As iso8859-2 is most likely what your terminal is running this becomes
nontrivial.
Doing this better is on the todo for dosemu but it will require a
rewrite of how we display chracters on the terminal, and so is coming
along slowly.

I hope this helps. I am certain this doesn't tell you everything,
but hopefully this points you in the right direction.
Oh, one other thing. As this keymap gets written. I have a regresion
test around for this kind of thing, and putting it in the regression
test so I can ensure further changes to the code will not break
your keyboard would be a real help.

Hi, All.
I have a strange problem with dosemu-1.00 .
Not every time, but in 80% of cases when I run it with a 'dos'
command, it hangs and I get a black screen. When I switch to other
virtual console with Ctrl-Alt-F2 and then after few seconds - back,
it sometimes begin to load, sometimes I need to switch to second
console and back several times, sometimes it doesn't help at all.
If I run dosemu from remote terminal ( from other computer in the net
) ir works Ok.
Where can I find the reason ?

AFAIK the Enhanced RTC (compiletime option) gives you up to 8192Hz -
>From Documentation/Configure.help: <BLOCKQOUTE>
Enhanced Real Time Clock Support
CONFIG_RTC
Every PC has such a clock built in. It can be used to generate
signals from as low as 1Hz up to 8192Hz, and can also be used as a
24 hour alarm. It reports status information via the file /proc/rtc
</BLOCKQOUTE>
If you're willing to recompile your kernel you can change the HZ #define to
increase the number of jiffies per second and use add_timer(). Lots of
caveats. Alessandro Rubini discusses this in his "Linux Device Drivers" just
to show it's possibly to increase the number of jiffies >= 50kHz, somewhere
around page 145. (I don't have it handy right now; today's midsummer, _the_
major pagan festival here.)
Even kernel mode interrupt handlers get pretty high interrupt latencies
<insert handy reference which I can't find right now> (1k-3k clocks) so you
might want to look at one of them RT kernel variant or go with polling code.
If you do decide to use interrupts you'll better time your samples using
either gettimeofday() or the RDTSC ins. and resample to your wanted HZ
(easy).
Running dosemu doesn't change any of this nor can it take away the HAL.

Maybe /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/lp1 works better. The /dev/lp? assignments
changed from Linux kernel 2.0 to 2.2, AFAIK, and now /dev/lp0 points to
the first printer.
Kernel documentation about parallel ports: if you only have one port, it
will default to being /dev/lp0, regardless of base address.
But in older kernels there were static ports assignments: /dev/lp1 always
pointed to 0x378. Some DOSEMU documentation is known to be well out of
date, and this is one thing we should mention at some point in the DOSEMU
docs.
Under DOS you should still use PRN or LPT1, not LPT2.

That is entirely predictable, since "lpr" takes its config from
/etc/printcap which can be configured by kcontrol.

Hi. I've been trying to get dosemu set up for the past couple of days,

the README and README-tech files) and I seem to be doing everything
that it says... except it doesn't work. Basically, I have the
following line in my config.sys file:
device=c:\cdrom.sys
and I know that this is working, because when I load up dos I get the
message:
[dosemu cdrom driver installed (V0.2)]
Then, in my autoexec.bat file, I have:
mscdex /d:mscd0001 /l:E
However, when my autoexec.bat is executed, I get the following error message:
Device driver not found: 'MSCD0001'.
No valid CDROM device drivers selected
In case it's relevant, I'm running a Debian system, and I just installed
the dosemu package (version 1.0) and I'm using the cdrom.sys which
came with the package, as well as the DOS-C "FreeDOS" kernel which came
included. I needed a copy of mscdex.exe so I downloaded it from some site
I found somewhere... it said it was the Windows95 version. I don't know
what else to say... I've tried everything I can think of, and I'm stumped.
I thought that cdrom.sys was supposed to define MSCD0001. If anyone
could shed some insight into my problem, I would really appreciate it.

It's DOS-C "FreeDOS" that is limited here.
The support for CD's wasn't available when we released version 1.0.
So you need a new version of DOS.
Either FreeDOS or one you already have.
<FYI>
FreeDOS has been doing a tremendous job of stabalize and
becoming useful lately however it is still seems to be the buggiest
DOS out there.

You may find that DOSEMU can't lock the printer device (/dev/lp1) because
your print spooler has the device open. Try disabling the printing system
and see if this has any effect.

I saw something similar when I was testing some experimental graphics
code. If the card didn't initialiase properly DOSEMU appeared to/would
hang. Have a look at /etc/dosemu.conf and try setting $_graphics and
$_console to (0). Then DOSEMU shouldn't try to initialise the graphics
card on startup. If this works, then you could try just re-enabling
$_console.

one workstation write a register into de archive served by samba, takes a

Without knowing what the error is, this sounds like a locking issue. Are
you running 'share' ?

This still sounds like Cacheing. The workstations will cache the data
locally that they receive from the Samba server.

We are aware of this. It may be addressed in the next release, but there
are still issues with this version of FreeDOS. For example, the conversion

Subject: Pipe? into dosemu program.
Hi, I have a program running under dosemu (Ver 0.98.8.0
running on RedHat 6.2)
I set it up to use "autoexec.bat" so that I can run the
whole deal in batch. The program seems to be using VGA
graphics (not that i care, the display is not what I am
interested in). Everything works except for one problem.
When this program is finished it insists that a user
interactively press the "Enter" key before it will clean
up and go away properly. This need for "Enter" is the
only thing standing in the way of what I really want...
that is, for the process to become a cron job.
Any ideas about how to do this would be appreciated.
I do suppose I could fork a child, wait until the output
file looks complete and then kill the dosemu process.
It is a solution that lacks all elegance (although there
is a macabre appeal to using kill as the "normal" means
of stopping a dos process).
What I really need is a way to:
/usr/bin/dos < /dev/null
I have tried this, it does not work, neither does:
echo '\n' | /usr/bin/dos
echo '\r' | /usr/bin/dos
I have also tried: /usr/bin/dos -U inpipe:outpipe
which seems to accomplish nothing. (yes, both pipes
were set up as prw-rw-rw- using mknod and chmod).

Try 'keystroke' -- You'll find information on this under "Running a
DOS-application directly from Unix shell" in the README.
If this doesn't work then its probably because your application clears the
keyboard buffer at various points. If that is the case then you could try
using a stream but only send the <ENTER> key stroke after a certain period
of time -- have a separate process which sleeps and then sends the
command.
