I'm new here... and I have a problem. 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
