similar to: Run DOS progs?

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,

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

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

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 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 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

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.

Hello, when I use DOS command line tools from within Terminal, is there a way to refrain X11 lauch?

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

Greetings everyone. Let me start by stating that I appreciate the enormous undertaking that Wine has been, and I am not suggesting that the ideas I will ask about in this post would be easy (or even possible) to implement, so there's no need to flame the n00b. As I understand it, Wine is an implementation of the Windows API for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems (Mac OS X, FreeBSD,

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

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

Currently attempting to run an old PC game on my Mac (Leopard). I've installed Wine using MacPorts, which worked flawlessly. Now when I attempt to install my PC Game the terminal responds with "16-Bit/DOS Support missing." Is there a way to fix this?

Hi, I have developed a comercial solution for my company that use Fox 2.0 Lan, it run over DOS. I want to change my office operative system to use UBUNTU instead of linux, does anybody know if I can use run FOX on Ubuntu? Thanks in advance.

I've been reading around, so I found this solution (on another topic here) for enabling DOS support on Macs with wine, something having to do with "patching the linker". Can anybody either explain this in simple terms, or point me towards a guide for doing this?

OS: SuSE 10.0 Wine: v20050725-3.2 I am trying to move this ancient DOS accounting application from a dying SCO OpenServer system where it has run happily under DOS/Merge for years. The original installation have long since disappeared. I made a tar archive of the mc8 directory and all its subdirectories. moved it to the SuSE box and untarred it under my ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/mc8
