Jamyda

Thanks for making Jamyda available. I have it running under Kubuntu 7.10 Linux.

I did have one problem in getting it working that I thought you might want to know about.

I installed Jamyda and configured the path to DOSBox, then created a new application. when I attempted to launch the application, DOSBox would start, but the application did not run - it simply gave a DOSBox console prompt as if no parameters were passed to DOSBox.

To debug, I created a shell script that would launch DOSBox and configured the script as the DOSBox application path in Jamyda. When I printed the arguments sent from Jamyda, everything looked OK. I saw the full path of my DOS app along with the parameters telling DOSBox to use the Jamyda created config files. But, if I attempted to launch DOSBox from the script using the line 'DOSBox $1 $2 $3', I still got a DOSBox shell with no application.

Finally, I used the script to create a launcher script on-the-fly using the line 'echo DOSBox $1 $2 $3 >dblaunch.sh'. The I had my main script execute this launcher script and it worked!

I'm 90% sure that the arguments passed from Jamyda contain control characters of some kind that keep DOSBox from interpreting them correctly (Unicode UTF-8 maybe?). Echoing the arguments strips those characters.

Thanks again for a nice application.
