I searched back though the archives, and couldn't find another example of what I am trying to do (which is no surprise...) I cloned my old BBS system in Ruby for linux (I know, that's sick...) to run via telnet. I want to use dosemu to run some old DOS door games.... they work fine running under dosemu, except that I need to launch dosemu as a seperate process and pipe the I/O to my BBS application, so I can send it on to the user. I can't get this to work. The details on how to use it are very sparse... I've tried using the built in Ruby facility for this, which works fine for stuff like telnet, but only gets me dosemu output... I've tried creating named pipes and using -U, but this doesn't seem to work either. Does anyone have any information on how to do this? Please help, and check out the scary retrobbs if you are into such things... Take Care, Mark Firestone telnet tardisbbs.ath.cx 2323 http://retrobbs.org http://bbs.yagni.com
