What do I need to do to configure IBM hi-ascii characters to be available. Special compile variable, dosemu.conf ???

I am running dosemu-1.1.4 compiled locally. It works fine except that my Brief editor get garbage charcters for painting its borders etc.

I have $_term_char_set = "ibm" set in my ~/.dosemurc This configuration works on another 1.1.4 built at another machine, but not at this one. Different builds of the same sources.

Both machines run Slackware with similar h/w.

Looked at the docs in www.dosemu.org, but they seem to be old, because suggest you add video { charset fullibm }, but that generates a parse err when starting dosemu...

Thanks,
TonyB

What I needed was to do a setfont default8x16, and then I got the hi-ascii graphic characters.

Howver, I still cant get keyboard keys like <del> or <Home> to respond correctly???

1.1.4

Enable $_rawkeyboard (if on a Linux VC) and stop using 1.1.4 (it had massive config problems) - try the 1.2.0 RC (1.1.99.1) at sf.net/projects/dosemu.

I was using 1.2rc1 before, but the COM1 I/O that this program does (rs422) to open a door latch, of all things, would hang the program. So I switched back to using 1.1.4, where I does work correctly (same ~/.dosemurc built for 1.1.99.1).

Sad to say that setting $_rawkeyboard (1) still leaves the <del> key echoing ^D, so my Brief editor still cant del, home, etc.

Post a bug report at sf.net/projects/dosemu, upload the program there and Stas will probably fix it.

1.1.4.0 does _not_ work. It is known to be buggy in parsing the config files. Lots of big changes and big bugs were introduced in 1.1.4 so if you really want to use a version from the 1.1.4 branch, I would suggest patchlevel 15 as a minimum.
