dir /P does not pause

[FelixGruetzmacher]

When typing dir /P in a somewhat crowded directory, counter to my expectations, there are no pauses, so the entire thing just scrolls past. dir | more does the exact same thing on the first run. On subsequent runs, interestingly, dir | more produces no output! Context: This is happening when logged in via putty (on Windows) to my Linux server. Ubuntu 18.04 dosemu2-2.0pre8

This sound like comcom32 problem, but pre8 is not bundled with comcom32. So I suppose something is wrong with that report.

I installed using apt-get install dosemu2 and got comcom32 and fdpp. I experimentally booted into the old Freedos bundle that came with the old Dosemu. That solved the dir /P issue but broke compatibility with some games. If fdpp and comcom32 is not the recommended config, what is? Btw thanks for the amazing emulator!

OK, but this is not pre8, just a nightly git build.

It is recommended, unless you want too much from command.com. :) In this case you can get freecom.exe from freedos and put it to c:\command.com to solve the problem. dosemu2 always prefers what user adds to what is by default. I agree that /P is a basic thing that should work, and I'll see about implementing it. Not so much about "more" command... yet.

I.e. you don't need full freedos - just put any command.com to ~/.dosemu/drive_c and this is it. It may be freecom.exe or for example 4dos.exe, which is much better than freecom.

[FelixGruetzmacher]

Thanks for clarifying! This helps a lot! Full Freedos is out of the question for me as that kernel won't run some games I don't want to miss, such as Level 9's Time And Magik trilogy or the Silver Cloud. Interestingly, fdpp has no problem whatsoever with those. Whoever is behind that kernel did an amazing job.

Its very pleasant to hear that fdpp achieved its main goal. You can always track its progress here: https://github.com/stsp/fdpp/releases

As stated in #61 I can confirm this issue on ubuntu 22.04 / pre9 with comcom32 0.1~alpha3-170-c870111+202207101546~ubuntu22.04.1

[stsp]

Should now be fixed.

[haenschen]

Can confirm, thanks
