This is useful if you want to use dosemu -t to run old #DOS programs in Linux terminals

cp437 dosemu -t -E QB.EXE

@howtophil is this actually necessary? I asked on the dosemu2 side:
https://github.com/dosemu2/dosemu2/discussions/2823

There is quite a bit of codepage handling inside dosemu itself which I'd expect to handle the conversion between the DOS and terminal code page.

I just ran into this: https://mastodon.social/@howtophil/116361308222965294 Seems that might be interesting: https://github.com/keaston/cp437 Is it something that dosemu2 might be able to do by its...

@jschwart Yes, it is required if you are running it in the terminal or xterm, but not if you're letting it run in an X window or SDL window.

Here it is in a terminal without cp437

@howtophil judging from the comments by Stas and Bart, that would seem to be a bug. Maybe you could report?
@jschwart It's on Github and do not do 2-factor, multi-factor, or any other security-theater authentication. So, I cannot.

@howtophil ah, that's unfortunate. (I presume you are aware that there are multiple browser extensions for Firefox for instance that make TOTP quite painless. I generally understand any hesitance towards GitHub though.)

I'll see if I can reproduce what you see. Which DOSEMU packages are you using?

@jschwart I don't validate bullshit by participating in it /shrug
@jschwart It's probably older. I don't upgrade my system unless things stop working
@jschwart But judging from the reaction to my post/toot, I'd say a lot of people have the issue with various DOS programs in-terminal in dosemu
