similar to: Lack of DOS support in wine

I haven't followed Wine in quite a while, other than to do an occasional update (but hopefully this will change). I noticed DOSBox support was added in January 2011. My understanding is that when Wine can't even attempt to run DOS programs itself (MAC OSX, 64bit OSes, etc) that it will attempt to run using DOSBox. Is this correct? Is the plan to replace native Wine DOS support across the

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

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

The install is an .exe which must be run in windows, but the actual program requires DOS support. Should I install a windows version of dosbox in wine and then run dosbox in wine and have my windows dosbox run the .exe? And yes, Linux dosbox cant run it.

I'm having problems running a batch script that executes a combination of 32 and 16 bit exe's. The 32 bit programs run fine. When the 16-bit exe executes, wine finds dosbox and dosbox executes the program fine. However that 16 bit program creates a file which then needs to be used in the following part of the script. There's no sign of that file after dosbox exits and wine continues

Hello, Is there a version of R running on Android? I wonder R Project ported to Android. If this isn't, a DOS version may be helpfull to run on Android under dosbox.

It is probably not strictly related to SAMBA itself but let me try to ask you for advice. Using smbmount I have mounted one of smb/cifs share to /root/test. This share has RW access and no authentication is required. Now, under DOSBox, whenever I try to mount /root/test I get this error (command sent under DOSBox: mount c /root/test). Directory /root/test doesn't exist. Any other directories,

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

Hello, First of all, I'd like to point out that I am a newbie in this topic and this is more of a "would it work?" kind of question. I basically just came up with a difficult problem and decided to research on it. I recently tried to run Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall on an ARM netbook Toshiba AC100 and failed even after turning on the latest patches for "dynamic

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

Hi, i need to write DOS Assembler software, ive tried TASM.EXE, but it just crashes. System is: x86_64 AMD, archlinux. wine is installed as 32bit through multilib....is it possible that this combination causes the crash? Is there a easier solution/program? greets Julius

Hey guys, i know this post is old, but i'm also having the same problem. I'm trying to compile MASM 6.1.5 programs in wine, and using ml.exe compiles and links everything perfectly and outputs a .exe file with no complaints. Then, when i try and run the program it give me an error like Code: fixme:module:__wine_load_dos_exe DOS executables not supported on this platform winevdm:

Hello all, first of all congratulation to all the wine stuff for the great job. I was trying to run some old 16 bit executables using wine (darwine) for mac, but from what i understand darwine is still not able to execute those exe. On Linux, doing wine TASM.EXE works fine, under mac, typing the same command (but using darwine) i get fixme:module:wine_load_dos_exe DOS executables not

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, Can anybody points me to a *complete* doc explaining how to emule a DOS progs ? When i want to run a DOS prog, wine tells me 'winedos.dll.so Cannot find symbol MZ_Thread' or something like this" Thanks. -- Aurélien

from the website intro page: Wine's main task is to run Windows executables under non Windows operating systems. It supports different types of executables: DOS executable. Those are even older programs, using the DOS format (either .com or .exe (the later being also called MZ)). Tried it: fixme:module:__wine_load_dos_exe DOS executables not supported on this platform in thread Execution DOS

Can an old DOS program (like BASIC) be run in Wine? If so, how do you set it up? --doug
