Public Domain/Freeware/Shareware by Ralf Brown: The MSDOS Interrupt List A comprehensive listing of nearly 6400 functions available through interrupt calls on IBM PCs and compatibles. Includes both documented and undocumented functions. Current version: INTER42A (release 42, 8/7/94) INTER42B INTER42C INTER42D (conversion and utility programs) DVINT An extract of the MSDOS Interrupt List containing the DESQview and QEMM API calls. Updated whenever there have been significant additions to the DESQview/QEMM calls in the Interrupt List. Current version: DVINT40 (4/3/94) RBcomm A DESQview-aware communications program which sports seamless DSZ, PCZ, or PUMA/MPt integration for file transfers; ANSI/VT102, VT52, and AVATAR emulation (including 132 columns); speeds to 115200 bps; a powerful macro language; dialing directory; ANSI music; and more. Runs in 65K with DSZ, 46K without. While it works under plain DOS, additional features are available under DESQview. Current version: RBCOM341 (v3.41 1/10/93) SPAWNO A replacement for the Turbo C and Microsoft C spawn..() functions which swaps the current program to disk, EMS, XMS, or raw extended memory while the spawned program executes, leaving less than 300 bytes in memory. Also includes a variant for Turbo Pascal v4.0 or higher. Current version: SPWNO413 (v4.13 12/12/92) Price: libraries free, full source code $100. RBkeyswap Exchange left control and CapsLock keys, as well as Esc and `/~. Loads itself high, using just 64 bytes; needs only 128 bytes low if no high memory is available. Current version: RBKEYSWP (v2.0 6/22/91; v3.0 included in AMISLIB) AMISLIB Public Domain library (with full source code and five sample TSRs) for creating self-highloading TSRs which may be unloaded in any order. Up to 256 TSRs created with AMISLIB may be installed simultaneously, and TSRs can be as small as 128 bytes resident, 1.4K on disk. One of the sample TSRs is a popup which accesses DOS. Current version: AMISL091 (v0.91 10/16/92) DV-GLUE DESQview API bindings for Turbo C. Current version: DVGLUE10 (source) DVGLUL10 (compiled) DVGLU101 (update) (v1.01 8/12/88) Note: a very early beta of the next release is available on FTP.CS.CMU.EDU and SoundingBoard (1/3/93) DVKPOLL "Poor man's version" of TAME. Makes programs give up CPU time when they are in an idle loop polling the keyboard for keystrokes. Current version: DVKPOLL2 (6/18/88) Note: This program has been superseded by DVPTAME. DVPTAME "Not-so-poor man's version" of TAME. Tells DESQview to give the remainder of a time slice away if the program is in an idle loop polling the keyboard for keystrokes. Uses 0 bytes of memory. Current version: DVPTAME (6/4/91) DVdevload Load device drivers only in those DESQview windows which need the services of the driver, reducing the pre-DESQview overhead and thus permitting larger DESQview windows. Current version: DVDEVL12 (v1.20 1/3/93) Note: as of DESQview 2.40, Quarterdeck's DEVICE.COM is able to install drivers into the device chain in the same manner as DVdevload; however, DEVICE uses eight times as much memory as DVdevload and has a serious interaction with 4DOS/NDOS that can lead to system crashes. RBspeed Switch the CPU speed of an Intel Pentium motherboard using the "Neptune" chipset. Public Domain. Current version: RBSPEED1 (v1.00 9/8/94) SPTURBO An integrated environment for Borland's Sprint word processor and Turbo C, Turbo Pascal, Turbo Assembler, Turbo Debugger, and CDECL. Knows which compiler to invoke based on the file's extension, and can run MAKE for multi-file projects. Current version: SPTURBO (v2.3 Aug 1,1989) Note: Do not expect any updates, as I no longer use Sprint as a programming environment. PURGEMSG Delete or copy *.MSG files such that you only see those messages from a Fidonet echomail area which interest you. Current version: PURGEMSG (v1.00, 8/4/91) Note: beginning 1/1/91, all packages are distributed in PKZIP archives with authenticity verification (v1.1 before 4/1/93, v2.0 after). Please redistribute only the original archives to preserve the authenticity information. If you receive an archive dated after 1/1/91 which fails the authenticity check, you should treat it with caution. If you receive an archive which passes the PKZIP check but displays an authenticity code other than NWS235, then the archive has been deliberately tampered with and should be deleted IMMEDIATELY. ------------- Availability: ------------- On the Internet, by standard anonymous FTP from FTP.CS.CMU.EDU [128.2.206.173]. Change directly to directory /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/ralf/pub with a single command (directories above this are not accessible via anonymous FTP). [DV-GLUE is not available here] Don't forget to set "binary" mode! If you are refused access to the directory, try again later; a fileserver may have been down. If connected to AFS, you can simply perform standard Unix/VMS/whatever directory listing and file copies from the above directory. On FIDOnet, from Soundingboard BBS 1:129/26 1-412-621-4604 14.4k HST, file req. My programs are kept in file area 8 for those wishing to download manually. Alternate Distribution Points (new versions will be available here usually within 24 hours of release): Internet: SimTel Software Repository mirrors in directories /pub/msdos/X. X is 'info' for the Interrupt List, 'modem' for RBcomm, 'c' for SPAWNO, 'asmutl' for AMISLIB, 'desqview' for DV-GLUE/DVKPOLL/DVPTAME, and 'sprint' for SPTURBO. Note that you must use mode "binary" to successfully FTP the files. The SimTel mirror sites include oak.oakland.edu [141.210.10.117], wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4], ftp.uu.net [137.39.1.9], nic.funet.fi [128.214.6.100], src.doc.ic.ac.uk [146.169.3.7] and archie.au [139.130.4.6]. FIDO: SyncPoint BBS 1:261/1008 1-410-529-2584 File Requests. Bitnet users may also retrieve items on SimTel via the following automated mail servers: (in the US) LISTSERV@RPITSVM (alias VM.ITS.RPI.EDU) LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 (alias VM1.NODAK.EDU) (in Europe) TRICKLE@AWIWUW11 (Austria) TRICKLE@BANUFS11 (Belgium) TRICKLE@DKTC11 (Denmark) TRICKLE@FRMOP11 (France) TRICKLE@DEARN (Germany) TRICKLE@IMIPOLI (Italy) TRICKLE@HEARN (Netherlands) TRICKLE@EB0UB011 (Spain) TRICKLE@SEARN (Sweden) TRICKLE@TREARN (Turkey) (elsewhere) TRICKLE@UNALCOL (Colombia) TRICKLE@TAUNIVM (Israel) Send a mail message containing the line /HELP in the body for instructions. DV-GLUE, DVKPOLL, DVINT, DVPTAME, DVdevload, and RBcomm are also available on Fidonet BBSs belonging to DVNet (the DESQview Distribution Network). The Interrupt List and SPAWNO are also available on Fidonet BBSs belonging to the Programmer's Distribution Network.
