Message-ID: <19991026131510.A32436@marvin.casa> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii User-Agent: Mutt/1.0pre4i List-Id: Hello! I've just finished writing dosgate, a program to recreate in a dosemu session every i/o event that would occur during normal linux console routine. This is useful to use every dos screen reader that works under dosemu as a Linux screen reader. I've created a little web page for dosgate, where one can download the tarball, and it's http://cs.unibo.it/~zinie/dosgate. Everything is under GPL, and it surely needs testing and improving. I wrote it to allow a friend with a braille display not supported by brltty to use Linux. Note: there is a little install script to automate building boot images for dosemu, but it's intended more as a guideline to read to know what should be done than a script to run to get things done. In no way it is stable and well tested; anyway on my system it works (probably by pure luck). Let me know if it works and if it could be useful! Read you soon, Enrico -- GPG public key available on finger -l zinie@cs.unibo.it
