  • dosemu

    From Immortal@21:1/185 to All on Sun Mar 17 10:51:02 2019
    I'd like to be able to run dosemu from my sysop menu and instead of running a door have it just drop me at the command prompt. Is this possible? It
    appears to run but I don't see anything on the screen.

    I just would like an easy and fast way to get into dosemu to run a door configuration program or player editor, etc. I have dosemu set up to run my doors using $_com1 = "virtual" in ~/.dosemurc but now the only way to get into dosemu is to go to back in and comment that line out otherwise I see nothing
    on the screen when it runs.

    I just tried on my system, yes it is possible.

    1. If you are local, the DOSEmu on my system starts up minimized. (check your config, as it can be configured to start hidden).

    2. If you are remote, you will still need to run a door app calls DOORWAY - see
    pcmicro.com as it will route video to serial port.

    I tested both here, works fine (local, and remote).
