What options can I give to go32 extender to modify its behavior?

go32 takes most of its options from the GO32 environment variable. The syntax of this variable is:

SET GO32=[parm [value]] [parm [value]] . . .

Parameters:

ansi

Use ANSI commands to control the color in edebug32.

mono

Use the Monochrome monitor for debugging - useful when debugging graphics applications. Currently only affects the topline info.

topline

Display status information on the top line of the screen (or the top of the mono monitor).

1rm

Redirect stdout to the monochrome monitor.

2rm

Redirect stderr to the monochrome monitor.

1r2

Redirect stdout (file #1) to stderr (file #2).

2r1

Redirect stderr (file #2) to stdout (file #1).

nodpmi

Don't use DPMI even if you find it available.

core file

Append exception traceback and stack contents to the named file.

glob

Enable wildcard expansion of program arguments (default).

noglob

Disable wildcard expansion of program arguments.

emu path

Use the specified file as the 80387 emulator.

driver path

Use the specified file as the graphics driver.

gw width

Default graphics width.

gh height

Default graphics height.

tw width

Default text width.

th height

Default text height.

nc colors

Number of colors (for new-style .grn and .vdr drivers only - see cbgrx*.zip).

meminfo

Show amount of available physical memory and swap space at program start-up (useful for tracing available RAM when spawning child programs, like in recursive Makefiles).

dpmistack val

Use the value given as DPMI stack size. (This parameter is obsolete now, use stubedit instead.)

The graphics driver must be set in order for the SVGA bank-switching to work correctly.

Note that 1rm and 2rm are done before 1r2 and 2r1, so "1rm 2r1" sends stdout to the mono monitor and stderr to any redirection used.

Examples:

  C:\> set GO32=driver c:\djgpp\drv\ati.grd gw 1024 gh 768 tw 132 th 43 nc 256
  C:\> set GO32=ansi
  C:\> set GO32=driver c:\djgpp\drivers\tseng4k.grd ansi
  C:\> set GO32=mono 1rm 2rm nodpmi topline
