PharLap 386asm crashes every third time

PharLap 386asm crashes every third time

[Arno Seitzinger]

Hi Newsgroup,

for developing software which has to run under dos with the Phar Lap dos 
extender I use the Phar Lap 386asm V8.0. I currently run it under vmware 
but would like to run it under dosemu because of some unresolved sharing 
problems. I know that dosemu and Phar Lap are incompatible in some way, but 
do not understand why the command
386asm -nolist sbhd1.asm
assembles two times and crashes on the third run as, IMHO, it should either 
run as often as I want to run it or crash dosemu the first time it is run.
The error message is

386|ASM: 8.0 -- Copyright (C) 1986-95 Phar Lap Software, Inc.
/usr/bin/dosemu: line 327:  3287 Speicherzugriffsfehler  
$DOSEMU_BIN_PATH/bin/dosemu.bin $XFLAG --Flibdir $BOOT_DIR_PATH/conf 
--Fimagedir $BOOT_DIR_PATH -f $BOOT_DIR_PATH/conf/dosemurc $OPT_I $STRING_I 
-O $@ 2>$BOOT_DIR_PATH/boot.log
esw44@esw44:~>

Speicherzugriffsfehler means some kind of memory access error.
I am running Suse Linux 8.1 and dosemu 1.0.2.0 with Freedos (but the problem 
also occured under previous Linux versions).

Any help would be appreciated

Arno

being a user and not a programmer i don't understand the details, but in the
end it has to do with Ring-0.  as i under stand it (subject to error) it's a
memory mode that allows direct control of memory.  this creates a conflict with
linux which already has control and has no intention of giving that up.

as to whether or not a pharlap emulator could be created i don't know.

Known problem, update your dosemu.

Hi,
after I updated to 1.1.3.0 it still did not work, so now I just compiled 
1.1.3.7 and it works perfectly.
Thank you very much!
