[Oslib-devel] trying the examples

[Paul D. <du...@ho...>]

I am playing with my rebuild X.
It's fun because for most examples, it works well.
In fact, I would say that only diskdemo don't work.
Even readdemo works... I rebooted the computer, and it did print what I had
put in my test file!

Some examples, are not able to return correctly to DOS.
DOS complains that the drive is invalid.

So...
So it seems it is mostly a problem with either int13h or maybe more 
precisely,
the floppy disk.

I'll try to figure out which is which tomorrow.

But I am surprised, I guess readdemo calls int21h in vm86 mode, and that
int21h call int13h !

Hi!

We had a similar problem (the same?) with the compiled version of X 5.2
that Luca put on the web a few months ago... we tried for a few weeks
both in Pisa and in Pavia to guess why it didn't work, and at the end we
recompiled the CVS source and it worked!... 

We sent our compiled version to Luca, anyway I do not know really if he
replaced the buggy one which was on the sourceforge web site...

anyway, now it works, and I'm happy you can play with it!

Ok, I'll put the new binary on the sf download page...
I am a little bit surprised by the fact that the 5.2 binary downloaded
from sf works well here (both on my computer and in bochs), but maybe I
am just lucky ;-)

me too... it does happen with some new machines... basically it runs on
many PC here at the ReTiS, but only with simple shark examples... when
there are some more complex demos ... boom!!!

In Pavia, where a lot of PCs are newer than here, it happens almost
always :-(
