In the process of my wonderful little DOS-in-Unix project (hint of sarcasm)
it looks like I will change from HISTORY.COM to ANARKEY.COM...does anyone
know if it A.) hogs too much memory and B.) can be loaded high?
Also, I would like to trap interrupt 21h, subfunction 47h (get current
directory)....the way I would like to do it is this:
interrupt21()
{
if (ah==0x47) {
getdirectory();
changebslash2fslash();
}
else
oldint21();
}
This heavily simplified, but this is the gist of the algorithm....any
ideas on how to do this? The important part is getting the buffer that
the directory is in so that I can process it...how do I do this? I don't
know enough ASM to get around these problems....

ANARKEY is great! It automatically uses expanded memory (if you give it the -E switch) so I don't worry about loading it high. It consumes about 1200 bytes of conventional memory (& 1 16K page of expanded) Since the program itself is about 12K, I setup 2K history and AKA buffers, to fill up the 16K (the granularity of EMS) -- (Another fine mess brought to you by valley@gsbsun.uchicago.edu)

Hmmm...I just downloaded Anarkey4.zip from simtel20 and wasn't that impressed. It's ability to use EMS did not impress me too heavily, since I don't have EMS (just extended memory since I use protected mode programs). Also, the shareware version has that annoying sign on screen, and although it does allow a great deal of configurability, I would prefer something written in C that I could register and get source for. HISTORY.COM, while outdated, unreliable, and old, DOES come with Aztec C source ans MASM source. I have already edited it heavily to be very UNIX(tm) like, remapped the keys, and I am adding aliases. If I could only just change the prompt and add a history viewer and the bang key...that will come with time.

It seemed pretty neat to me one I first tried it, but then I found that it would hose the system if you were running under Windows with dual dos-box's running as windows (instead of full-screen). The 'doskey' that comes with dos 5.0 seems to work ok though. -Mike

The >'doskey' that comes with dos 5.0 seems to work ok though. That's OK. I hate Windows. Works just fine under DV. -- (Another fine mess brought to you by valley@gsbsun.uchicago.edu)
