DOS errorlevel not working?

["Greg Conway" <greg@gmlnt.com>]

Hi all,

I've just found DOSEMU yesterday, when I discovered I needed X windows to
run WINE!

I am trying to get the Norton Anti-Virus Scanner NAVDX.EXE working under
Linux. This is all fine, I've managed to get the
thing working, and mount the folder I wish to scan as my D: drive (has taken
me some time but there was documentation for all this on the web!!)

However, I'm having trouble with the errorlevel command, and returning the
result to Linux. Consider the following DOS program:

@echo off
c:\navdx\navdx.exe c:\virusfolder /s+ /doallfiles /zips /delete
if errorlevel 13 echo "virus"
if errorlevel 0 echo "clear"


simple stuff. Under Win2K, this program does the decent thing and returns
"virus" and "clear", as expected (DOS errorlevel command reports >= rather
then = if I remember correctly!), if I drop the EICAR test files into the
directory c:\virusfolder.

However, under DOSEMU (I'm running the binaries with FreeDOS) it returns
errorlevel 0 every time.

Any ideas what could be going wrong here? I'm pulling my hair out over this,
and have been scouring the web for examples all day with no success!!

Once I have this sorted, my final problem will be to return the errorlevel
to Linux, where I've called DOSEMU from a shell
script, so if anybody has any ideas on this as well they'd be gratefully
received - the best I've found is a posting so far
that says "how does it work? exitemu 1 doesn't do the job"!!)

Many thanks for any help received.

Regards,

Greg Conway.
