A nice guy recently told me about the MS-DOS-Interrupt 2Fh. He said it may be used to communicate with memory-resident programs. My problem is: that's a DOS internal int. and therefore it is not documented. The only documentation I found is something about the way PRINT.COM uses this interrupt, but not more. Is this the legal way to communicate with memory-resident programs beside using own interrupt-numbers ? Who can help me ? Thanks in advance ... marvin. P.S.: I'am working with MS-DOS 3.3 =================== Ludger Wetzel = Hirschstrasse 103 = D-7500 Karlsruhe = West-Germany = ===================

It is intended for application-application communications. Here at IMAGEN, we use it in our PC Publisher Kit product and it works quite well. I suggest that you make the function code programmable so that no conflicts with existing software will occur. Carl Stehle IMAGEN Corp. .
