So I've been playing with Synchronet in Ubuntu, trying to get DOSEMU (actually DOSEMU2, since the original DOSEMU project is pretty much
dormant) to get DOS doors to work.
Got Synchronet complled from source and installed, and it's running
fine.
I set it up in /sbbs instead of /home/(user)/sbbs. Is that the right
place for it to run?
Got DOSEMU2 installed, and it's running fine. I can get it to do
basic stuff.
And I'm using Rob's Wiki articles to help getting things set up. So I
plan on having it use the external.bat and dosemu.conf files that Rob
set up in the /sbbs/ctrl directory. So far that's OK.
But the part I'm missing is how can I set up DOSEMU to allow me to
set up the DOS doors where you need to run a configuration program so
I can tell the door game where to find the drop files, what directory
it's running in, etc.
I've been trying to use the "lredir" command in DOSEMU to tell it to
point to the /sbbs/xtrn directory, but I keep getting error messages.
So where am I going wrong in getting this set up?
That is a pain but I do have an answer for you.
I have a shell script that I call de (for dos environment)
unset DISPLAY
/usr/bin/env QUIET=1 HOME=/sbbs/ctrl/ DOSDRIVE_D=/sbbs/node1/ /usr/bin/dosemu. bin -f/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf
Then run
lredir E: linux\fs\sbbs\xtrn

Thank you for the script. However when I try to run the lredir
command, I get the following error:
Error b (format invalid) while redirecting to drive E: to \\linux\fs\sbbs\xtrn
Is it a permissions issue or something else?

Are you using
redir E: linux\fs\sbbs\xtrn
or
redir E: \\linux\fs\sbbs\xtrn

The first one.
Yes, I'm aware it shows up as a double slash for some reason. Is that
just how it displays? Or is it actually trying to do a double slash
even though I typed it in as a single slash?

Join the #synchronet channel on irc.synchro.net and see if Hobo is
around. He's been playing with dosemu2 and might be able to offer some insights.
