Been looking for a Dosemu myself. Only I need it in a .pet for Racy. I'll keep doing the Puppy search,...maybe something there. |

You might find it in here (I did see Dosbox in the Quirky packages subfolder): http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/ Or perhaps try installing from the distro: http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/ I don't know enough about Racy or Precise to tell you what other sources might work. Under Lucid, I regularly install Debian packages... I (don't think I have this under 5.28 at the moment, but...) http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/dosemu _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile |

Does DOSEMU run DOS programs in Linux? |

Yup. It gives you a DOS command line (and file system). And since machines that run DOS are getting rare... 
(granted, software that runs in DOS is also getting rare...) _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile |

Actually at least one shop program was written in DOS.  After many years of troubleshooting and tweaking, it works well. Redoing it would be a painful and expensive process, just really not an option if there is any other choice.

I probably should note there's also DOSBox, as an option. As for DOS software going away... I wouldn't entirely say that. It's still being produced, in the form of console/CLI software. You just don't hear about it, as much, because everyone looks for GUI-based software first and foremost. 
(...and yes, there's often a number of Linux command-line program ports in there...) We're raising the next generation unable to use the command-line, I tell you.

Hey! Thanks for the link. I'm an old diehard that still uses some Dos programs. EDIT..eh,..no luck so far. Oh well,...guess I could switch Puppies so that I could use the Debian version (so easy to do).

As also mentioned, give DOSBOX a try also. I think that I've played with both, and both seemed fine. _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile |

Too late, Retro,.. already got Macpup 529 installed (forgot just how nice it is)...and have Dosemu up and running. Dosbox always seemed a bit confusing to me (having to use the Z: drive,..instead of the old C: drive thingy. I'll try fooling more with Dosbox, though ..mayge I'll like it just as much. Who knows? |

I remember the look on my co-workers faces when they walked behind me on an XP machine, and I was working in the DOS window... Unfortunately, the XP family doesn't have a REAL DOS window, so it's a bit unstable* when running some programs (I have lots of old Fortran code that I run -- I have pretty much moved over to running it all under Puppy). * (by unstable, I really mean "unstable" -- a code will run one time, and fail the next 2 times, then run the one after...unpredictably unstable...) _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile |

Yeah, I should stop skimming topics before I reply. 
Hmm... I don't remember the CLI in XP being that unstable... but then, I didn't try to do much in the way of programming with it. That's what my 9X/ME or earlier machines are for, with the true DOS setups.

Thank you for your help. I was able to install and use DOSEMU on Puppy Precise. Do you know if it is also possible to install DOSEMU on Puppy Racy ? Are they compatible ? TIA. Linux Be |
