Hi, I'm Yves and I'm new to this list. I use Wine as Win98 but without Windows, on a ReiserFS directory. Every once in a while, I try to run a dos program in wcmd (unix compiled & launched). My main purpose is to test Atari ST emulators. Always, the dos program wants to access memory in "real mode". There's something about the first 64Ko of memory, then it always ends with a message about there being no "DPMS". With the last patch applied (20010418), I have an additional hint, something like: "download file dpms-xxx.zip", a message seemingly from Wine. Does anyone know anything that could help me? Thanks! ______________________________________________________________________________ ifrance.com, l'email gratuit le plus complet de l'Internet ! vos emails depuis un navigateur, en POP3, sur Minitel, sur le WAP... http://www.ifrance.com/_reloc/email.emailif

A true Dos emulator would be more reliable (from what I heard).>My main purpose is >to test Atari ST emulators.It's not a good idea to use Wine with applications that you are not sure if and how they work.>Always, the dos program wants to access memory in >"real mode".

AFAIK no wine messages suggests to use zip files. It's probably a console message from the app. Not that getting this file from wherever it is could do you good. If it's what I suspect (a memory manager to allow dos apps to access extended memory), it would never work successfully under Wine. Gerard
