[net.micro.pc] Calling DOS from inside of interrupts

mark@sdencore.UUCP (Mark DiVecchio) (05/19/85)

I have worked out a technique which lets me make calls to DOS interrupt
21 on the IBM PC from within Interrupt Handlers. I don't know if the
routine is foolproof but it seems to work. If anyone would like a copy
of the assembly language contact me. If I get enough requests, I will
post it here otherwise I will just mail it to the requesters.

The technique, by the way, was not invented by me but I pulled
together 3 or 4 different attempts to make one that seems to work
consistently. Of course, without knowing what Microsoft did inside
of PC(MS)-DOS, we'll never know what works correctly all of the time.

My recent posting of LPTx, a PC-DOS program which showed examples of
how to call DOS from within an interrupt handler failed to mention
that you must run exe2bin on the .exe file to make it a .com file
before you try to load it.
