Purpose
RIO-TSR (Rock Input/Output) is a memory-resident program
(takes about 80K) that logs all DOS disk I/O operations and
other functions to a file for later study. It can be useful
in debugging software and network problems by showing what
DOS calls are made along with their results, without the need
to delve into a program's source code.
RIO-TSR is a memory-resident (TSR) program that logs DOS I/O
operations & functions to a text file for later study. It's
useful for debugging software and network problems by showing
DOS calls & their results, without the need to delve into a
program's source code.
RIO is a non-TSR program which lets you browse the log file
and change RIO-TSR's settings, for example to log only
certain interrupts. The new version also logs Novell Netware
& direct disk I/O calls.
RIO is geared towards programmers, but advanced
non-programmers may find it of use as well. For example,
it's possible to detect problems in a program such as not
closing a file without really understanding how interrupts
work. But the more you understand about DOS interrupts the
more you'll get out of RIO's reports.
RIO can be useful in "reverse-engineering" how a program
accomplishes certain tasks, or in decoding a data file format
by listing the number of bytes read/written during each DOS
call (see the section on File Reads & Writes).
RIO can also point out inefficiencies in a program, for
example if the program checks a file size fifty times, when
it could have checked it once, stored it in a variable, and
not wasted time accessing hte disk repeatedly.
Note that RIO-TSR is normally loaded just during debugging
periods, and is typically not installed all the time. If you
intend to keep it installed all the time, keep it in mind as
a suspect in case you have system glitches, and unload it if
it becomes a problem.

About Shareware
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
You should find software to suit your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system
makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before
you buy, and lower overhead means lower prices. Shareware has
the ultimate money-back guarantee: if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it!
Shareware Registration
RIO is distributed as a shareware program. You're encouraged
to try the program prior to purchase, and to give copies to
your friends and colleagues who you think may find it useful.
However, the software is not free; if you decide to use RIO
on a regular basis, please do the right thing and support the
author. You'll help further the development of this software
and gain the benefits of registration.
The cost of registration is $25. Registered users will
receive 5.25" or 3.5" disks (your choice of disk size)
containing:
* The latest version of RIO.EXE, RIO-TSR.EXE, and RIO.DOC
* A scaled down version of RIO-TSR that saves about 30K when
resident, but logs fewer types of interrupts
* A printed and bound RIO manual
* A set of public domain text files describing in detail the
DOS and Novell interrupts - close to 500 pages of info if
you print it out
The $25 registration fee will license one copy for use on any
one computer at any one time. Call for quantity
purchases/site licenses.

Distribution
As mentioned under "Shareware Registration", you are
encouraged to pass a copy of RIO along to your friends for
evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if
they find that they can use it.
If you make copies of RIO, you must include all files in the
original distribution, including the documentation; you may
not give RIO away altered or as part of another system.
Anyone distributing RIO by mail for any kind of remuneration
(except ASP vendors) should first contact Rock Systems at 101
N. Main #150-125, Ann Arbor MI 48104 for authorization.
If you're recognized by the ASP as adhering to its guidelines
for shareware distributors, then you do not need to contact
Rock for distribution permission. Any BBS may distribute RIO.

Loading RIO-TSR (memory-resident)
To install, type
RIO-TSR [filename]
If you type just RIO-TSR, the log file defaults to C:\RIO. If
the file already exists, you'll get the following prompt:
C:>rio-tsr
RIO-TSR 2.15 (7/91) - Rock I/O logger, (C) 1991 Rock
File C:\RIO already exists; append, erase & overwrite, or
cancel (a/e/c)?
If you type A or E, the program will "go resident", operating
in the background, and you'll be returned to the DOS prompt.
If you type C, RIO-TSR will not go resident.
HotKeys
Certain aspects of RIO can be controlled by pressing hot keys
after it has gone resident. The following table lists the hot
keys:
LeftShift-RightShift-L Toggle logging
LeftShift-RightShift-C Clear log file
LeftShift-RightShift-U Unload TSR
When logging is off, no further I/O operations will be logged
until it is turned on again. If your system is slowed down
with file accesses you're not interested in, you should turn
logging off. After logging is resumed, new operations are
appended to the existing log file.
Command-line switches
You can unload RIO-TSR or toggle logging by using running
RIO-TSR with command-line switches. Type "RIO-TSR /U" to
unload the program, or "RIO-TSR /L" to toggle the logging on
or off.

Running RIO (non-memory-resident)
RIO allows you to turn on or off logging of particular
interrupts. After you load RIO-TSR, run RIO, and it will
provide a full-screen program with pulldown menus. Command
keys (such as up and down arrow) are listed at the bottom of
the screen, and if you've used pull-down menus before, the
program's menu selections should be fairly self-explanatory.
Configuration Files
Configuration files store the settings you choose in RIO
(such as time-date stamp, or particular interrupt logging).
You can save or load a configuration file's settings RIO's
File menu.
Two example configuration files are included, DEFAULTS.RIO
and OPENONLY.RIO, which contain the default RIO-TSR settings,
and settings to log just file opens, respectively. To use
them, load RIO-TSR as usual, then load RIO, then choose "Load
Config" from the File menu. Type in the full path and file
name, such as "c:\rio\openonly.rio". You can create your own
config files by adjusting the settings in RIO, then saving
them with "Save Config" from the File menu. This allows you
to create separate configuration files for debugging a
network problem or for debugging a file creation problem.
RIO has one optional command-line argument - a configuration
file name. If a configuratino file is given, for example,
"RIO OPENONLY.RIO", RIO loads the settings from the
configuration file "OPENONLY.RIO", then halts. This allows a
configuration file to be loaded from a batch file.

RIO 2.15
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Operation
The log file created and repeatedly updated by RIO-TSR is a
text file showing information about each DOS I/O call. It
lists the call number, its operation, input and output from
the call, the time, and/or the date, according to the
settings, which are adjustable from the program RIO.EXE. The
following are taken from a sample log file:
┌──────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┬──────────┐
│Operation │Information sent -> returned │Time │
└──────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┴──────────┘
Get Break Flag -> Off 16:16:21.16
Set Break Flag Off 16:16:21.16
Open (Read-only) C:\COLORS.RIR -> Handle 5 16:16:21.55
Close File Handle 5 16:16:21.55
The -> symbol in the "Information sent -> returned" column
means that the information was returned from teh call. A
"get" call typically just returns information, while a "set"
call typically just sends information to the interrupt
procedure. In the case of the "Open (Read-only)" call, a
file name is sent to the interrupt, and a handle number is
returned. Each opened file is assigned a handle number, and
subsequent calls relating to the file will use that handle
number (as in the next call, Close File). The maximum handle
number can be set by the "FILES=" command in a config.sys
file, for example "FILES=20" means up to 20 handles may be
assigned at the same time.
Note that RIO-TSR does not log its own I/O operations. RIO,
the non-TSR program, will cause some operations to be logged.
RIO-TSR will put a special message in the log file if it is
unable to log all the information. RIO-TSR uses a memory
buffer to hold log information until it is safe to write it
to disk. If the buffer overflows before it can be logged, the
log file will contain a line indicating how many lines were
lost.
RIO-TSR will also put a line in if the same interrupt is
called repeatedly, for example if "Find Next File" is called
100 times, it will list the first three calls, then say "call
repeated 97 more times." The number of calls to list before
saying it was repeated is adjustable from RIO.
For the technically minded, Appendices A & B list the
interrupt $21 functions that can be logged.

File Reads & Writes
File Read/Write calls (Interrupt $21, finctions $3F and $40)
are by default not logged, because some programs call these
functions a *lot*, and the results generally aren't that
interesting. However, you can have these functions logged by
turning them on from RIO's "Interrupts" menu.
Logging these interrupts can be very useful in trying to
decode an unknown file format that a program uses. If the
program writes each field with a separate call, you can see
exactly how many bytes it writes per call. As a simple
example, if a database program keeps writing 4 bytes, 1 byte,
2 bytes, and keeps repeating this sequence, it's indicative
that it's writing fields of those lengths (perhaps a date,
followed by a boolean value, followed by an integer). File
headers, the initial area of data files, are often written
and read one variable at a time.
Failed DOS calls
Unsuccessful or "failed" DOS calls are usually listed with
the the error code they return. Note that a DOS call
returning an error does *not* indicate a program bug. For
example, to determine if a file exists, many programs try
opening the file, and if it fails, it knows it doesn't exist.
As long as the program you're running realizes when DOS
reports an error, rather than trying to write to a file it
never successfully opened, then the program should work fine.
Hotkey Sound Effects
RIO plays sound effects when it issues functions called by
hotkeys. When logging is toggled, "on" is denoted by a rising
scale of tones, "off" by a falling scale. Clearing the file
results in a muddy warbling sound, and successfully unloading
RIO-TSR results in the first few notes of Taps being played.

░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
File Attributes
Get Attr, Set Attr, and some other file-related calls are
followed by attribute codes given in brackets, for example
"[RHSVDA]". A sample line from a log file would be:
Find First File [RHS DA] C:\*.* -> .
This means the Find First File is looking for a file with any
attributes other than the Volume attribute, and the "."
directory entry was returned.
The codes within brackets stand for the following attributes:
R - Read only H - Hidden S - System
V - Volume D - Directory A - Archive
Change History
Version 2.0
The logging of each function was made configurable, so the
logging of particular Int $21 functions can be turned on or
off. Features such as time/date stamping, or logging of
interrupt function numbers, can be turned on or off. Netware
function logging was also added.
These options are selectable from a separate non-TSR program
which communicates with RIO-TSR, so that this larger program
won't hog your system RAM while you're running RIO-TSR.
Also, this version of RIO-TSR can be unloaded.
Version 2.15
Added ability to save and load configuration files from the
non-TSR program RIO. Configuration files can be loaded
either by RIO's menu selection or from RIO's command-line
switch.
Version 2.15
Fixed two bugs: didn't log file reads and writes, and didn't
log all failed calls.

Credits
RIO-TSR is based on the public domain IOLOG 1.0 (12/88) by
Kim Kokkonen of TurboPower Software, and uses TurboPower's
(excellent!) Object Professional toolkit for Turbo Pascal.
Mr. Kokkonen credits Don Pearsall for IOLOG's inspiration.
IOLOG provides much less information (it logs around a dozen
interrupts), and is not as configurable, but it is public
domain, and the source code is included with Object
Professional. The user interface for RIO also makes use of
Object Professional's menu and window routines. If you're
into Turbo Pascal, their software and support comes highly
recommended.

Appendix C - Known Incompatibilities
Rock tries to overcome incompatibilities, but some still
exist.
Quarterdeck's QEMM - We have had two reports of a "QEMM
Protection Error 13" with users who run QEMM. Unfortunately
we cannot reproduce this error with our copy of QEMM, and
Quarterdeck's technical support gave no suggested causes of
the error message. User suggestions in this matter are
welcome!
Microsoft Windows 3.0 - If RIO is installed when Microsoft
Windows is started, it causes Windows to halt loading. If
logging is turned off, Windows will load, but will hang when
you try to exit Windows. You can run RIO in a DOS shell from
Windows, but it must be uninstalled before you return to
Windows. Microsoft does not officially sanction TSR's for
use with Windows, so this incompatibility will probably not
be resolved.
Norton Commander - A user reports that RIO freezes their
system when Norton Commander is loaded. The cause remains
unknown, but we'll investigate further when we have access to
Norton Commander.
J.P. Software's 4DOS - While generally compatible, certain
configurations with expanded memory-swapping cause RIO to not
log any interrupts when certain programs are run. It will
not hang the system, and logging resumes when a non-logged
program is terminated.

the quality and performance of the programs is on you. In
the event there is any defect, you assume the entire cost of

consequential damages arising out of the use of or inability
to use such programs even if Rock has been advised of the
possibility of such damages) or for any claim by any other

of liability for incidental or consequential damages so the
