similar to: DOS application won't load.

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 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

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

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, 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

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

I must run Turbo C for the university. The install seemed to go alright, but when I try to run it I get: $ wine TC.EXE Warning: unprotecting memory to allow real-mode calls.

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

Is there a simple well to test a menu after compiling rather than actually booting with it from pxe or off the cd? I guess it would run inside dosemu? Thanks, James James S. Martin, RHCE Contractor Administrative Office of the United States Courts Washington, DC (202) 502-2394

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

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!

Hello, Downloaded and installed Wine to run an old DOS program (database gui for Clipper5 called dbu.exe). The layout of Wine is well thought out. Anyway, the problem is the following that I just have a blank window. I ran the code (found that in the forum, thankyou) for old 16bit programs first: sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0 This is the terminal readout: paul at paul-asus-laptop:~$ wine

I have several batch files from my windows installation that I've been using for many years, and I wonder what's the best way to transfer them to a Linux machine, without having to rewrite them as shell scripts. Some of these batch files call DOS programs and some call Win32 console programs. Unfortunately I have a few that has calls to both a DOS and a Win32 console program. The problem

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,

Hi, the error I receive when running my program is this; Code: fixme:int:DOSVM_Int10Handler Get Font Information - Not Supported I ran; Code: cd '/home/ricardo/.wine/drive_c/gh' wine gail.exe -CustomResolution:enabled -r1024x768x32 exit The program is a lottery number program (generator) Could someone debug the error for me? Thanks.

Hi folks, does anybody know how to get a DOS executable to run that relies heavily on ansi.sys to simulate a text-based user interface? My wine version is "Wine release 20010305".
