Package: dosemu Version: 1.2.1-3 Severity: normal If I want to import environment variables from the Linux environment into the dosemu session using "unix -s varname", only variables without an underscore are imported.
My /etc/freedos/autoexec.bat @echo off [snip lredired standard setup] share unix -r DOSCOMMAND so the environment variable DOSCOMMAND will be run. I have this batch file in my homedir: @ECHO OFF REM Set up environment unix -s FOO unix -s BAR unix -s BAZ unix -s BAT unix -s FOO_BAR unix -s FOO_BAR unix -s FOO_BAT set pause Each environment variable is set in the parent shell. The output reads like this: SHARE installed. About to Execute : d:\blank1 COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM PATH=c:\bin;c:\gnu;c:\dosemu;d:\epicpos HELPPATH=c:\help PROMPT=$P$G DOSTMP=/tmp/dosemu.udm2yf/tmp DOSDRIVE_D=/home/blank TEMP=E:\ DOSEMU_VERSION=1.2.1.0 FOO=foo BAR=bar BAZ=baz BAT=bat Press any key to continue ... i.e. all the underscored envvars were missed. In an existing DOS application which uses the envvars "CSL-ACC", "CSL-CSBIG" and "CSL-CSNRM", represented in the Linux environment as "CSL_ACC", "CSL_CSBIG" and "CSL_CSNRM", only CSL_ACC is imported successfully (all are then converted to the hyphenated form). I'm unsure what makes "CSL_ACC" an exception to the apparent "no underscores" rule. What's really strange is this: if I run dosemu without setting DOSCOMMAND, and then enter "blank1" as the command to run at the shell, it runs perfectly: $ dosemu SHARE installed. DOSEMU built-in command.com version 1.0 C:\>d: D:\>blank1 COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM PATH=c:\bin;c:\gnu;c:\dosemu;d:\epicpos HELPPATH=c:\help PROMPT=$P$G DOSTMP=/tmp/dosemu.fpjwlj/tmp DOSDRIVE_D=/home/blank TEMP=E:\ DOSEMU_VERSION=1.2.1.0 FOO=foo BAR=bar BAZ=baz BAT=bat FOO_BAR=foobar FOO_BAT=foobat Press any key to continue ... D:\> Wierd. It looks like dosemu is not working properly until the shell starts? I've also found problems if DOSCOMMAND has arguments to the command e.g. "command arg1 arg2". The args seem to be dropped, though I need to investigate this one further. This also applies to running "dosemu command arg1 arg2" with the appropriate unix command in autoexec.bat.
