- This is the fifth of five archives containing the MSDOS Interrupt List,
- release 45.
-
- This archive contains programs to convert the MSDOS interrupt list into
- hypertext databases for a number of popular hypertext help systems.
- These programs have been contributed by others; I have not tested them
- because I do not own any of the help systems for which they produce
- databases. If you have problems, please contact the author of the
- program with which you experienced difficulties. Some of these programs
- predate, and will thus not take advantage of, recent enhancements to the
- list's format.
-
- INTERVUE.EXE, INTLIST.ICO, and IV.BAT are the files for the
- public-domain interrupt list viewer from Hackensack. IV.BAT is a
- wrapper which ensures that the necessary index file exists before
- invoking INTERVUE. The interrupt list has now exceeded the limits of
- INTERVUE v1.5's capabilities; the included v1.6 is a quick patch of
- v1.4 (Bob Williamson was unable to locate the sources for v1.5)
- which allocates more memory in order to be able to load the index
- file. Hopefully, the planned new version will be forthcoming before
- this version reaches its limits. INTPRINT has already been enhanced to
- support the upcoming enhanced version of INTERVUE.
-
- In addition, the source code for INTPRINT, INT.COM, and the Epsilon
- extension code I use while editing the list are included in this
- archive.
-
- Not included here because it is rather large and is distributed
- separately by the author, is IL2HDK by Ron Loewy, a conversion program
- to put the interrupt list into Help Development Kit format, from which
- it can be converted into about a dozen different formats, including
- WinHelp, QuickHelp, Borland THELP, OS/2 IPF, POPHELP, and DESQview/X
- help. At the time of this writing, the current version was 3.5
- (IL2HDK35).
-
- I have removed INT2HLP.BAT, L2WH.ZIP, and WINHELP.ZIP from the
- distribution, since the first is a slow (and old) Perl script to
- generate a Windows Help file, the second is a slow AWK script to
- generate a Windows Help file, and the third is a slow AWK script
- processing the output of INT2HLP.BAT. Since there is another WinHelp
- generator in the archive and IL2HDK is also available, I decided to
- remove those three in order to reduce the size of the archive.
-
- Similarly, I have removed NGCONVER.ZIP because it duplicates RB2NG
- but appears to have less functionality.
