Hi!

I'm running DOSBox in linux kubuntu and using it for testing DOS programs written in pascal. These programs are otherwise for cash registers. In order to fully test these programs there has to run another program in the background to catch results of the programs being tested and output them into a file. The background program is called prindir.com.

The problem is, while the programs being tested are running flawlessly, prindir won't output a thing. Interesting thing is that edit.com works - it saves files to disk. Prindir is set to use extended memory buffer, if this is of any help.

Is there any way to fix this?

I would really like to completely migrate to linux, but this little thing is kind of stopping me.

Cheers,
Mitja

EDIT: sorry, just read that printer support is still in early development. Does that mean that it's not possible to print on LPT1 yet?

Yes, it does.

Also, have you tried DOSEMU?
