Hi, I use the latest Codeweavers WINE and several DOS programs wouldn't run correctly. Where can I find the best DOS emulator for Linux? Thanks!

Hi I have a relatively small executable (and also the source code) for an experimental data logging application which was written to be used with DOS in the middle ages of earth. I tried to install it using wine. Wine simply hangs after the second line - no return to prompt - see below: user@Laptop:~$ wine '/home/user/Desktop/Pocket.exe' Warning: unprotecting memory to allow real-mode

Hi! I just hear you talking about programs like UT or winword, requiring either a 3D rendering engine or a million DLLs. But has anyone of you ever successfully started a plain DOS Program like MS edit.com or duke3d? Whenever i try anything like that wine runs into an infinite loop and does nothing but produce cpu load and > fixme:pthread_kill_other_threads_np messages... With some programs i

Regarding WINE support for DOS apps: Is there some fundamental reason why WINE could not be made to support old DOS apps (like Warcraft), or is it just a matter of missing libraries and such? In other words, is there a reason why DosBox, etc. are full hardware emulators, or why full DOS library support in WINE still wouldn't be enough? Thanks, -- Joel Parker

Hi, I have a windows app that allows an old dos program that will only print to LPT, to redirect to a USB printer. I was able to use this in native windows. But Wine does not seem to be able to launch a dos box like windows could. The program is at: http://www.dos2usb.com/download.htm Unless there is some other way to redirect an LPT port? Thanks Bob

Is it possible to run wine (wineconsole??) without X windows. I just have a simple character app that executes in a DOS window and uses printf(). I tried 0.9.30 and wineconsole doing control_alt_f1 and it BLEW I couldnt even alt_f7 to get back. I had to reboot. Should this be possible? If so how? Jerry

A lawyer in California is trying to change to linux. In CA, there are a number of programs required by the courts, and so far none are ported to linux at any price. His reason for wishing to change has to do with the fact that Microsoft now controls his access to his own files, and he finds this unacceptable. I tried one of his apps, an old DOS version of Abacus. Using the WINe with Redhat

I have a new EeePC from ASUS with Xandros version of linux installed. I have installed wine, and believe that the installation works for at least some windows programs. Looking in the windows\system32 directory I see notepad and progman, both of which run and look reasonable. What I really want to do is to run a command window, i.e. cmd.exe. Even though it is there, when I attempt to execute

I was wondering if it is possible to create a hard disk image in DOS for use with MEMDISK? If so what utility is required? Rob

I need some help from the WineHQ members. I have a DOS application that works under Window XP on a desktop computer and would like the same DOS application to run flawlessly under Wine. The application loads fine but some buttons and text are missing. So I have to guess where I type the serial number and licence code. It seems to install fine but when you double click on the desktop icon nothing

We have some database dos programs runing under Linux with dosemu on the client side connected to Linux server runing samba, and want to do register locks in a local directory mounted with smbmount. In samba 2.0 this was not possible (files become corrupted). Can samba 2.2 do the trick?. We don't want to use micro$oft lan manager for DOS. Any other options?. Thanks in advance Pietro

I downloaded the 'seatools for DOS' diskette creator on seagate website. it's a windows program that creates the diskette; so a floppy disk must be present in the drive. running the program is ok, but creating the diskette fails, it says "the current diskette format not valid". while the diskette is blank, vfat, mounted and linked to a: in wine; so everything seems to be ok.

Hello.. I have a somewhat "funny" setup. I use the dosemulator Dosemu for running a dos based packetradio nodeprogram called Xrouter. I setup dosemu to use my eth1 (lan) nic and i bring up a device called dsn0.
