Hello Again,

If I could manage it, what I would really like to do is wrap DOSbox in my elaborate Perl/FC2 CLI-Menu IDE (MIDUS) which operates in a rolling terminal (i.e. Konsole). MIDUS uses menus to execute downstream system-called CLI getops scripts feeding GNU make with various Fortran compilers for testing and automated regression validation, including G95, G77, Gfortran, and Intel compilers (at various times). It also automates the navigation and setup of various gang editors like kate, jedit, emacs, meld, et al, called by similar CLI scripts.

The downstream getops scripts have secondary menus with a line for each option, triggered by a single alphanumeric character (chosen for getops-standard). These menus are read and interpreted by the upstream menus and pre-selected before the downstream scripts are called. Full-page and multipage rolling help screens are invoked by the option letter preceded by the backtick character.

Thus, MIDUS has all the flexibility of a GUI, but without event-driven tedium for quick and dirty addition and prototyping of new functionality. It uses sticky options and parameters to create local defaults to minimize redundant typing. All functionality thus uses single keystrokes, except when invoking help screens.

If I can figure a way to implement DOSbox under MIDUS, and transfer files to it; I can compile and statically link FC2 programs with MIDUS and then pass them to DOSbox for execution. I'm sure that will satisfy Philbru, so we can continue his website promotion.

Any thoughts?
