7 dosemu and X-windows

Contents of this section

7.1 Can I run dosemu in console mode while running X?

Ronald Schalk (R.Schalk@uci.kun.nl) reported (1/17/94) that

Yes, no problem. Just remember to use ctrl-alt-<Fn> to go to a Virtual Console (VC), and you can run any Linux application (dosemu is a linux-application). I've got almost always WP5.1 in a dos session.

[Note: Use ctrl-alt-F7 to switch back to X from dosemu.]

[Note: Some people have reported problems when dosemu is started before X]

7.2 Is it possible to run dosemu in an xterm?

Evmorfopoulos Dimitris (devmorfo@mtu.edu) reported (12/10/93) that

It is possible to run dosemu under an xterm, but without any graphics, and with no more than 128 characters.

H. Peter Anvin (hpa@hook.eecs.nwu.edu) adds (2/6/94)

no more than 128 characters... unless you use a special font. Someone has an IBM PC (CP 437) X font for use with ANSI-graphics on BBS's, as well as a patch for Xterm that *might* include character translation (for letters like \305, \304, \326 for example.
