DOSEMU !!!DOSEMU NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS AUTHOR SEE ALSO ---- !!NAME dosemu, xdosemu - run DOS and DOS programs under Linux !!SYNOPSIS __dosemu__ [[ __-dumb__ ] [[ __-home__ ] [[ __-quiet__ ] [[ __-input__ ''keystroke-string'' ] [[ __args__ ] __xdosemu__ [[ __-dumb__ ] [[ __-home__ ] [[ __-quiet__ ] [[ __-input__ ''keystroke-string'' ] [[ __args__ ] !!DESCRIPTION __dosemu__ is the wrapper script for __dosemu.bin__ (1) which invokes the Linux dos emulator, also known as __DOSEMU__. !!OPTIONS ''args'' any number of options described in __dosemu.bin__ (1), please refer to this man page for further details. However, take care to quote and escape correctly so bash doesn't mess up arguments containing blanks and backslashes. ''-dumb'' use `dumb' terminal mode. This will only work for DOS applications, which do plain text output to stdout, but has the advantage that (A) the output of the DOS application stacks up in your xterm scroll buffer and (B) you can redirect it to a file such as $ ./dosemu -dumb -E dir Note that DOSEMU command.com's commandline editor/history will also work here, however, editing is restricted to BACKSPACE'ing. ''-home'' in addition to drive C:, make the users $HOME available as drive D:. Note, however, that most of the Unix file names will get mangled. ''-quiet'' do not print startup comment and do not stop for prompting ''-input'' Do simulated keystrokes as given by ''keystroke-string'' just after DOS has booted. This can be used to autolaunch applications, bypass any needed boot menus or something similar. For details on the format of the string look at README.txt. Note, however, that the !FreeDos kernel eats one keystroke at bootup in order to let you time to type in F8. So in this case you always should add a 'r' at the beginning of this keystroke-string. As a side effect it will bypass the 'F8' delay and !FreeDos will boot faster ;-) !!AUTHOR __DOSEMU__ (comprised of the files __dosemu.bin__ and __dosemu__ ) is based on version 0.4 of the original program written by Matthias Lautner (no current address that I know of). Robert Sanders DOSEMU__ with which this man page was originally distributed. During about 4 years James B. !MacLean __ !!SEE ALSO dosemu.bin(1) ----
