paste in dosemu 1.4 under Ubuntu Jaunty

[Bonnie Dalzell]

I have an odl dos application I use dosemu to run. It is a sort of 
database and it runs very well with dosemu.

however cut and paste is very very erratic and it is very useful for me 
to be able to cut from text displayed under ubuntu and be able to 
paste into the dosemu window.

pasting by pushing both left and right mouse buttons at the same time is 
consistant for me in a linux shell window but very unpredictable with 
dosemu.

any suggestions would be appreciated as retyping things takes more time 
and introduces typos.

Thanks again.

what kind of problems are you encountering?  you know there's a 
difference between DOS text and Unix text, right?

for my own purposes, I've created a batchfile while converts the 
contents of the clipboard from Unix to DOS format, and then writes the 
reformatted clipboard contents to a textfile, which I then merge into 
the desired place in my DOS app. I can point you in the right direction 
if you're curious.

Hi

If your database has macro and if can execute command line program,
maybe you can cut and paste the text on dosemu <-> X-Window applications.

I use my favorite dos text editor on debian lenny dosemu,
and make a macro to do cut and paste without using the mouse.

Like this macro (execute on text window of my editor)

(1)"save to clip"

	Make a temporary file of the text I want to paste to the X applis
		(ex. d:\tmp\cilp.tmp = ~/tmp/clip.tmp )

	On dos command line, execute the unix.com of the dosemu
		"Unix ~/tmp/clip.sh"

clip.sh
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
iconv -f Shift_JISX0213 -t UTF-8 -c ~/tmp/clip.tmp -o ~/tmp/clip.utf
cat ~/tmp/clip.utf | tr -d "\r" | xsel -i -b > err.txt 2>&1
echo "#!/bin/bash"  > ~/tmp/killxsel
ps | grep -i ' xsel$' | sed -e "s/^ \([0-9]\+\).\+$/kill -9 \1/" >> ~/tmp/killxsel
chmod +x ~/tmp/killxsel
~/tmp/killxsel
------------------------------------------------------------------------

	And I can paste the text on gedit or Firefox or ....


(2)"insert from clip"

	copy or cut the text on gedit or Firefox or ...

	On dos command line, execute the unix.com of the dosemu
		"Unix xsel -p > d:\tmp\clip.utf"
				or
		"Unix xsel -b > d:\tmp\clip.utf"

		"Unix iconv -f UTF-8 -t Shift_JISX0213 -c ~/tmp/clip.utf -o ~/tmp/clip.tmp"

	And insert the temporary file to the text of the editor window

* xsel is a linux command

...........

Thak you for all who have developed this wonderful dosemu program,
I can still use my favorite dos text editor !!

I forgot to tell one thing.

To use unix.com and xsel like this, 
you need to install glliper into gnome.
