------- Additional Comments From juan(a)virtual-orbis.com  2003-18-05 14:19 -------
1) wineconsole 4dos.com gives me an error:
 err:wineconsole:WINECON_Init failed to init.
 
2) wineconsole -- --backend=user 4dos.com
 does work in a new window, but it shows several messages on parent 
 console: (will expand on separate bugreports)
 err:int:DOSVM_Int09SendScan keyboard queue overflow (many times)
 err:int:DOSVM_Int2fHandler int2f: unknown/not implemented parameters
 (plus a set of registers that vary)
 err:keyboard:X11DRV_ToUnicode Please report: no char for keysim 0000 
...
 ..and so.

Moreover, it is hard to type (because of the above?) into the window.(It's slow 
or doesn't get the keystrokes fast enough  -I felt like having a very old hard-
to-type keyboard!)

About the 4dos features, I found only the command "dir" works, other known 
commands as "list" or "describe"(very  important!) doesn't work well.

I have to add on this: 
-command "list" clears the screen and hangs
-command "describe" doesn't shows a message prompting the user to add 
the description to a particular file:
example: (under w98) 
c:\>describe wget.exe
Describe "C:\WGET.EXE" :  program to get URLs fast
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(prompt)

under wine, there is a blank line instead of the prompt, but the 
command does add the description typed on the blank line.
