Please upgrade your dosemu to 1.3.3 and try again.
Don't forget to remove/replace the old config files
and the rest of the stuff.

In this case you may want to increase one of the
$_xms, $_ems or $_dpmi values in your dosemu.conf,
if the default ones are not enough for paradox.
"-extk" suggests that it should be $_xms.
If you find the value that suits, we may consider changing
the defaults, so that paradox can work without any extra options
with the future dosemu releases. Actually, the current defaults
look very small indeed.

1.2.1 is too old and is usually problematic to run on the modern
systems like FC3.
The performance problems of the newer releases you were mentioning
elsewhere, can be "cured" by setting $_hogthreshold=(0) in your dosemu.conf.

Hi,

 with -extk xxxx argument works fine! /dosemu-1.3.3/.

Stas, I don't know why, but Paradox "sees" more than 16MB extended memory
when running over DOSemu. And that is why it crashes with a GP 0000 error.
Using -extk 8000 (or anything equal or lesser than 16000) forces it to use
only the amount specified.
IIRC this happens no matter which settings you choose in dosemu.conf, so
you must always use -extk xxxx.
For what is worth, though, Paradox shines with 8MB extended memory.
More is better, of course, but not that much better.
And 16MB is the absolute max.

Well, I am eagerly waiting for 1.4.0 :o). (I am not at all fluent with
linux and keep myself confined to binary versions :o( )

dosemu and paradox 4.5

[Gabor Csuri]

Hi,

 I'm trying to get working paradox 4.5 on Fedora Core 4 and
dosemu-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm with freedos.

 I always got DPMI error!

my dosemu.conf:

$_dosmem = (640)
$_xms = (8192)
$_ems = (2048)
$_ems_frame = (0xe000)
$_dpmi = (8192)

this occours:

H:\PDOX45>paradox            (after high CPU usage and ~30sec)
ERROR: DPMI: Warning: trying to leave DPMI when in_dpmi_pm_stack=24452
Unexpected condition: GP 0000 AT PARADOX:14:2fb7 -- Leaving Paradox
H:\PDOX45>

Can anybody help me?

Thank you, gabor.

Gabor, GP0000 problems usually are  Paradox memory problems and not DOSemu's.  Try paradox -extk 8000.
Paradox 4.02 has run fine for me on DOSemu 1.2.1.  since it appeared.

Hth.
