Hi all, thanks to Blair for telling me about HXRT and big cheers to Japheth for his HXRT DOSX variant :-). So yes, DOS boxes work in WIN /S (only full screen DOS boxes, which are suspended while they are not the foreground task - classical WIN /S style imho) with his DOSX in FreeDOS :-). Note that SHARE must be loaded.
> DSWAP hooks, in a dos box: int 8, 9, a, b, d, e, f, 10, 15, 16, 1c, > 21, 27, 2a, 2f, 5c, 70, all IRQs, VGA, int15, keyboard, timer, DOS, > multiplex and int 5c... > A dos box has the comspec contents upcased and adds a variable > windir=C:\WIN..., note that the variable name is lower case. Layout of test results did get messed a bit, repeating: - 119c 48240 MEM program - 1d64 534432 free + 119c 3888 WIN program + 1290 416 DSWAP environment + 12ab 36656 DSWAP program + 1b9f 416 MEM environment + 1bba 3152 COMMAND program + 1c80 48240 MEM program + 2848 489216 free + 9fb9 592 COMMAND environment 087a 96 free -Free XMS memory 187927552 bytes -Largest free XMS block 187927552 bytes -Free handles 68 +Free XMS memory 113992704 bytes +Largest free XMS block 113992704 bytes +Free handles 64 ... + 3 1832 7618560 1 + 4 1842 65994752 1 + 5 1852 160768 0 + 6 1862 160768 0 -Conventional 640K 71K 569K +Conventional 640K 115K 525K -Extended (XMS) 195,520K 11,997K 183,523K +Extended (XMS) 195,520K 84,199K 111,321K -Largest executable program size 569K (582, 688 bytes) +Largest executable program size 525K (537, 472 bytes) (- = before starting windows, + = inside 1 of 2 concurrent dos boxes) Eric PS: Tested with FreeCOM 0.84 German Aug 28 / Kernel 2035 default May 2004 on a German Windows 3.1 with some MS y2k / mixed patches installed. And tested with a pile of drivers loaded (cd-rom, moresys, caches, mouse...). Seems to work equally well with and without emm386 loaded. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
