Just curous if you (or anyone else) have any learnings to share with regard to doors under linux?
I have /most/ doors working fairly well in linux on Ubuntu 18.04 x64. There
are a handful that simply won't work (TW2002, for example) and some utilities as well (pkunzip, which by default utilizes dpmi).
What issues have you run into thus far?
I think there are a couple of key points.
1 - Set your mmap_min_addr -
https://wiki.debian.org/mmap_min_addr
2 - Properly configure dosemu.conf. All lines of mine which are /not/ commented out are as follows:
$_cpu = "80486"
$_cpu_emu = "vm86"
$_hogthreshold = (10)
$_external_char_set = "utf8"
$_internal_char_set = "cp437"
$_term_updfreq = (8)
$_layout = "us"
$_rawkeyboard = (0)
$_joy_device = ""
$_speaker = ""
$_sound = (off)
...everything else should be commented out, and only these should be set. Also, please note what they are set to :)
3. Make sure to download a fossil driver (bnu v 1.70) and add it to your autoexec.bat (optionally do same for nansi.sys in config.sys)
4. Map d:\ to your doors dir and e:\ to some place where it's easy to find
the drop files (I always use door.sys and NEVER door32.sys)
5. Launch doors with the "DD" command if using mystic
6. The following should be your launch command text:
stty cols 80 rows 25 && dosemu -I"serial { com 1 virtual }" "<door script>"
%N /DOS
Let me know what issues you have after this :)
