control characters with newest version?

control characters with newest version?

[Cheryl Homiak]

I'm trying to decide whether I want to try the newest version of dosemu. I'm
happy with my present setup except that I have a program that needs control
characters that dosemu can't handle. for instance, there's a menu that needs
control-i; there are others but that's the one I can think of right now.
can anybody tell me whether the newest development version has any better
handling of control characters than version 1.1.3?
Thanks.

For my application, which was Foxpro based, V1.1.3.2, was the
breakthrough. All of my ctrl-a-z and ctrl-F1-F12 keys finally worked. I
would try 1.1.3 with the appropriate patchset to bring it to 1.1.3.3.

Eric's new kbd code is excellent, pity he
abandoned it even before it was made a
default:(

Just don't do that. 1.1.3.3 was broken by
some MFS changes and was replaced by 1.1.3.4
almost immediately.
You can try 1.1.3.4, but if you are really a
paranoic about stability, I think you'd better
stick with 1.1.3.2 for a moment, until 1.1.3.4
gets some more testing (or, even better, just
do that testing yourself and see if there are any
drawbacks compared to 1.1.3.2)
