Re: [Harbour] Re: Random links
I'm tempted to move to 64-bit, but I'd cut myself out of DOS even more if it breaks dosemu. why not virtualbox? i'm quite sure even the opensource edition can run dos quite fine. I use VMWare Fusion 3 (it seems to work better on OS X yet), and while FreeDOS runs under it, I gave up maintaining a pure MS-DOS environment simply because I couldn't afford spending lots of hours digging in config.sys/autoexec.bat to configure networking, and other nowadays obvious things. dosemu provides a well-working environment out of the box, and it fits my (BTW Harbour-only) purpose perfectly. For real mode DOS apps, even dosbox works on OS X natively. Of course I could keep separate Linux 32 VMs for dosemu alone, or even 32-bit Windows, but all these are too "expensive". i think i even have one setup up complete with networking n stuff, if you want (and i find it), i could send you that (it's basically a freedos + mslanman + i-forgot-what-tcpip, runs some custom app my mom has had for decades, which i'll rip out of course :). :) Well, thanks a lot for the kind offer, but please don't bother, I'd probably keep it for emergency only (IOW it'd just be another exotic VM/OS in my collection ;) (rip out the app, not my mom.) :) Springs to mind that I have Win95 VM, which also has DOS, so for testing it could be the "ultimate" solution.

Re: [Harbour] Re: Random links
BTW, does someone know if it's possible to run dosemu under amd64 Ubuntu? I'm tempted to move to 64-bit, but I'd cut myself out of DOS even more if it breaks dosemu. i don't try it but it's there : http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?lang=fr&keywords=dosemu Indeed. Although I've read something along the lines, that under 64-bit hosts, dosemu runs 32-bit code using CPU emulation. If true, performance isn't very good probably.

[Harbour] Re: Random links
Hi All, Just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (both server and desktop) and it's a very nice piece of OS. I hope one day Harbour will become an package option. BTW, does someone know if it's possible to run dosemu under amd64 Ubuntu? I'm tempted to move to 64-bit, but I'd cut myself out of DOS even more if it breaks dosemu.
