Hi all,
I'm trying to run a DOS program under Linux, and have tried these:
DOSbox: fails because the program needs SHARE.EXE
QEMU/FreeDOS: fails immediately with message about interrupt
QEMU/MS-DOS 6.22: fails after a while with internal error code
DosEMU (2): fails after a while with same internal error code
Virtualbox/MS-DOS 6.22: works
However, I need to get data in and out, so Virtualbox is not optimal,
and I'd like it to be simple and minimal, like QEMU.
Are there any other options?
/Tomas

It would be useful to have the exact error messages, and *which* program
is failing...
However, I've found this reference which might be of help:
https://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/dos-programs-that-require-shareexe/
(particularly the reference that, in some cases, just the presence of share.exe is
necessary - it's not really used)
Did you try to run your program under Wine?
John

You might have to give more details, what program is this, and what is
the exact error? In dosemu, you can get more details from the boot.log
file in your ~/.dosemu directory.
I exchange data with the host in dosemu over redirected drives. For
example, I like to use 1-2-3, so this makes my Documents directory
accessible as I:\ in DOS:
LREDIR I: \\linux\fs\home\taviso\Documents
Tavis.

OS/2 has always advertised itself as a better DOS than DOS.

If it's a one time thing, maybe there's a user near you that can help.

IMO Dosemu2 is actively maintained and errors are corrected - you
should get involved, report bugs on the project page, and work
together to fix the bug.
