Hi,
I have a couple of friends who would like to run DataPerfect
databases in their Linux and Windows computers.
-- Linux: I tried DosEmu, but could not make it work
correctly with the accents (diacritics) of the Portuguese
language. Don't know if the problem is keyboard- or
display-related. I experimented a lot with the DosEmu
configuration file and FDConfig.sys, but with no results
so far.
Is DosEmu actually capable of working with Portuguese
diacritics and supporting a standard Brazilian keyboard in
the first place?
And if DosEmu can't do it, would dual boot (Grub) be a
good idea? I read the announcement in July that Grub 2.00
supports FreeDOS.
-- Windows: Has the same problem with diacritics. I suppose
there is a way of configuring that, but I'm not overly
anxious to start struggling with Windows.
Again, would dual boot be a good idea? If so, what could I
use? Metakern?
My personal preference would be dual boot, but I wonder whether
it would bring its own problems. Those are other people's
computers, which I don't want to mess up.
