similar to: Why can't Wine do 256 colors?

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

I am curious how come Wine has no direct support for DOS but has support for Windows 2,3 & 95 (which required DOS for their installation). I think of Wine as an utility to run legacy software and DOS compromises a big chunk of it. I know I can use Dosbox but it would be better for the end user if one program could run in linux all software made for m$. As a bonus, Dosbox also is open source,

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

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,

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

Hi everybody i'm running a very old app in dos i do Code: WINEDEBUG=+relay wine WP.EXE 2>&1 | less -i that's what i get in reponse 002e:Call USER.1: MESSAGEBOX(0000,13870c5a "This application must be run in either 16 or 256 color mode.\n",13870c98 "Error!",0010) ret=11f7:0155 ds=1387 [/code] what can i do? thx

Dear R users, I have a 51 by 51 matrix of p-values (named as pvalue_MA). I want to present graphically this matrix in a plot (filled contour plot) where both axes represent probabilities. I have also added a grid in this plot. I want to highlight in white the cells of the grid that represent p-values smaller than the (common) significance threshold, 0.05. The code from this plot is colored in

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 am now at the point where I have one more thing to install before I can scrap my Windows box - and it's Leisure Suit Larry's Greatest Hits and Misses. I have installed the DOS-based parts of it in dosbox, and also used sarien and freesci to handle some of it, but there is a significant part of this collection that needs Windows. Trying an installation with the default Windows version

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:

Dear all, May I suggest to add an example in the help page of the colors() function ? The following code could be useful to easily choose any color from colors() : ## Millot G. (2011), p.71. ## Figure displaying all the 657 built-in color names of colors(). palette(colors()) tempo<-NULL for(i in 14:1){tempo<-c(tempo, rep(i,50))} windows(width=10) # replace by quartz(width=10) for MacOS and

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

Software as Application, can always find a replacement. (Well most of the time) But Software as Games, there is good chance that you will never find a replacement. They are their own unique Art. (Classical games is another story, such as chess, and those "public domain") In order words, doesn't matter how old a game might be. it will not get obsolesce. When it come to

I installed the latest version of wine in ubuntu gutsy from wine repository (wine version 0.9.54) and when i try to install warcraft II from cd rom i get this error: Warning: unprotecting memory to allow real-mode calls. NULL pointer accesses will no longer be caught. and nothing works. I have an acer travelmate 2350... Thank you, Federico :D

hi i've been trying to get an old game (Dune 2) which i used to play through DOS to work on Linux systems, i've not used this before and am in need of an 'idiot's guide to Linux' i've gotten as far as having unpacked the file and installed it on terminal, it now to the point of running the Setup.exe however when i try to run the setup, i get the following command line

Hi, in order to complete an installation, I need to change the "target" property as you would see in windows. I tried opening explorer.exe and changing it through there, but there is no option to. Is there any way I can change this? To start playing WarcraftII, I have to open multiple files from different directories at once. Since I can't edit the target properties through wine or

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

This has been on my mind for a long time, and it's time I ask. Every version of WINE I have ever used Wine cmd in has this "bug", but I don't know if it's Wine's fault, or terminal's fault. Or if WINE cmd can at least be made more compatible with terminal. If I open terminal (only tried this in Linux) and run wine's cmd, I get wine's cmd in the terminal. If I
