dosemu kde app link
Hi,
Using dosemu 1.1.4.0, freedos kernel 1.1.28, Im trying to set up a kde application link to call dosemu and run the emulated DOS app in one click. The command:
xdosemu -D-a -I 'keystroke " C:\\DIR\\SUBDIR\\APP.EXE\r"'
works perfectly when typed manually in a xterm, but if I create a kde app link using the same command at the "command" property, it just does some "hourglass work" in the app bar and closes. Changing the "Run in a terminal" app link property does not change the behaviour.
Changing the command to use dosemu instead of xdosemu opens the xterm, but dies with the famigerated "line 496 parse error"
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Norman

I created a shell script containing the line above and started the script with kde.

Change to the latest dosemu (1.1.4.13) or remove the '#' from the $_video line in dosemu.conf or .dosemurc.
