[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] A very good DOS technical reference found and available

ts@uwasa.fi (Timo Salmi LASK) (12/06/89)

Tue 5-Dec-89: Obtained progref1.zip and progref2.zip.  They are very
impressive DOS technical references by Dave Williams.  And they make
a nice complement to the well-known inter589.arc reference by Ralf
Brown.  All these files are available by anonymous ftp from our
site, and they are located in the /pc/pd2 directory.

SIMTEL20 already has a more up-to-date version as 
PD1:<MSDOS.SYSUTL>1216REF2.ARC (the progref?.zip on chyde is 9/28/88, 1216ref2
is 12/16/88).  BTW, large portions of the interrupt listing in the above were
lifted verbatim (with a little reformatting) from an earlier version of the
interrupt list I maintain (most likely INTER388 or INTER488).  I just wish
Mr. Williams had given more credit than lumping "INTERRUP.ARC" together on one
line with several other BBS-distributed files....

Timo, the above two files, when combined, are identical to
0929REF.ARC.  That file has been deleted because it is an older
version of the one below, which you may wish to get from SIMTEL20:

<msdos.sysutl>
1216REF2.ARC   	 268K  11-09-89  List of interrupts,memory locations,I/O ports

Yes, Keith Petersen was already kind enough to let me know of the
more recent version, and it is now available on chyde.uwasa.fi as
well.  It is in directory /pc/pd2.  Thanks for informing me.

I am not familiar with the history, but the principle is always
clear.  It is to "give credit where credit is due."
