I have uploaded to SIMTEL20: pd1:<msdos.desqview> HOOKINT.ZIP Ensures interrupt availability in a DV window HOOKINT is a utility that uses DESQview's External Device Interface (XDI) to guarantee that a particular software interrupt handler that is in effect within a DESQview window will always be in place when that software interrupt is called from inside a particular hardware interrupt handler. This can be important because hardware interrupts are often given to one program in DESQview when the state of the computer is set up for a completely different program. If a program's hardware interrupt handler assumes that it can safely call a given software interrupt, the program may not run successfully in DESQview. HOOKINT is designed to help such programs. If loaded before DESQview, HOOKINT simply grabs an interrupt, without performing any of the functions that make it useful to applications. Unless you wish to use HOOKINT as a debugging tool, it should always be loaded in a DESQview window. pete - - Pete Stern <stern@ims.alaska.edu>
