[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Re : WANTED: COM1 redirection to a file

markd@wolf.UUCP (Mark Divecchio) (05/29/88)

I have a program LPTx which redirects LPT1,2,3 output to a file by
intercepting INT17h and then doing all the good things that a TSR should
do before writing the file to disk.

If you would like to extend it to intercept COM1 and COM2 interrupts
I would be happy to send you a copy of the source (in MASM). If I do,
though, I would like the results of your changes so that I can distribute
them. I currently distribute LPTx as purely Public Domain, including
the source. I run a Bulletin board where I keep all of the sources and
executables.

I think that the program would be easy to extend by adding options
for COM1 and COM2 and then instead of intercepting the LPT interrupt,
intercept the BIOS serial interrupt. Note that if a program goes
directly to the HARDWARE, which is very common with the serial port,
there is no way to put a piece of software like LPTx in the path.
In those cases, there is no way to capture that data.

Let me know. Phone number below or EMAIL.
