Hi If your database has macro and if can execute command line program, maybe you can cut and paste the text on dosemu <-> X-Window applications. I use my favorite dos text editor on debian lenny dosemu, and make a macro to do cut and paste without using the mouse. Like this macro (execute on text window of my editor) (1)"save to clip" Make a temporary file of the text I want to paste to the X applis (ex. d:\tmp\cilp.tmp = ~/tmp/clip.tmp ) On dos command line, execute the unix.com of the dosemu "Unix ~/tmp/clip.sh" clip.sh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/bash iconv -f Shift_JISX0213 -t UTF-8 -c ~/tmp/clip.tmp -o ~/tmp/clip.utf cat ~/tmp/clip.utf | tr -d "\r" | xsel -i -b > err.txt 2>&1 echo "#!/bin/bash" > ~/tmp/killxsel ps | grep -i ' xsel$' | sed -e "s/^ \([0-9]\+\).\+$/kill -9 \1/" >> ~/tmp/killxsel chmod +x ~/tmp/killxsel ~/tmp/killxsel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And I can paste the text on gedit or Firefox or .... (2)"insert from clip" copy or cut the text on gedit or Firefox or ... On dos command line, execute the unix.com of the dosemu "Unix xsel -p > d:\tmp\clip.utf" or "Unix xsel -b > d:\tmp\clip.utf" "Unix iconv -f UTF-8 -t Shift_JISX0213 -c ~/tmp/clip.utf -o ~/tmp/clip.tmp" And insert the temporary file to the text of the editor window * xsel is a linux command ........... Thak you for all who have developed this wonderful dosemu program, I can still use my favorite dos text editor !! -- - aja_by_steely_dan - VZ Editor / DOS / DOSBox http://aja.seesaa.net/ -------------------------------------- Get the new Internet Explorer 8 optimized for Yahoo!
