  2. ;      MODULE NAME:   EMM07_A.ASM                                             ;
  3. ;                                                                             ;
  4. ;    FUNCTION NAME:   get_EMM_version                                         ;
  5. ;                                                                             ;
  6. ;      DESCRIPTION:   This function returns the version number of the memory  ;
  7. ;                     manager software.                                       ;
  8. ;                                                                             ;
  9. ;           PASSED:   &version:                                               ;
  10. ;                        is a far pointer to the memory manager's version     ;
  11. ;                        number.                                              ;
  12. ;                                                                             ;
  13. ;         RETURNED:   version:                                                ;
  14. ;                        is the memory manager's version number in binary     ;
  15. ;                        coded decimal (BCD) format.  The upper four bits     ;
  16. ;                        contain the integer digit of the version number.     ;
  17. ;                        The lower four bits contain the fractional digit of  ;
  18. ;                        version number.  For example, version 4.0 is         ;
  19. ;                        represented like this:                               ;
  20. ;                                        0100  0000                           ;
  21. ;                                           /   \                             ;
  22. ;                                          4  .  0                            ;
  23. ;                        When checking for a version number, an application   ;
  24. ;                        should check for a version number or greater.        ;
  25. ;                        Vendors may use the fractional digit to indicate     ;
  26. ;                        enhancements or corrections to their memory          ;
  27. ;                        managers.  Therefore, to allow for future versions   ;
  28. ;                        of memory managers, an application shouldn't depend  ;
  29. ;                        on an exact version number.                          ;
  30. ;                                                                             ;
  31. ;         RETURNED:   status:                                                 ;
  32. ;                        is the status EMM returns from the call.  All other  ;
  33. ;                        returned results are valid only if the status        ;
  34. ;                        returned is zero.  Otherwise they are undefined.     ;
  35. ;                                                                             ;
  36. ; C USE CONVENTION:   unsigned int status;                                    ;
  37. ;                     unsigned int version;                                   ;
  38. ;                                                                             ;
