TST is little TSR demo for CodeRunneR's PDK-3 capabilities. It allows
you to run programs or COMMAND.COM while inside other applications,
including those using graphics, mouse and coprocessor. Since TST
saves forground application, it is best to run it from RAM disk,
or to have LIM available. In case of LIM you get additional benefit
of TSR size of only 1.4K of RAM. If you have HIGH-LOAD type utilities
(like 386MAX) you can load TST into High Memory and use 0K low memory
footprint and take up only 1.4K of high memory - the rest of TST is
in EMS memory !
RUNNING ANY PROGRAM
After running TST.EXE press F11 or <Alt-COMMA> to pop-up execution window.
On question "Program Name:" specify full path and name of the program
(including COM or EXE extension).
On question "Command Line" you can enter <CR> or the command options
required by the application.
The application will be executed and upon its exit, the screen will be
retained until you hit any key. Then the original screen, preceeding
the pop-up will be restored.
RUNNING COMMAND SHELL
To shell out into COMMAND.COM press F12 or <Alt-PERIOD> then run any
commands at the command level.
COMPILING TST.EXE
In order to compile TST you MUST own CodeRunneR and PDK-3.
TST.EXE is created by DO.BAT. Source files are TST.C, TSTID.C and TSTIC.C.
LIM USE: The DO.BAT will compile & link assuming PDK-1 is available.
If this is not the case remove PDK-1 dependent parts of DO.BAT
as indicated in the batch file. When compiled with PDK-1,
the TST.EXE program will reserve up to 192K of LIM if available,
otherwise it will use swap file MEM_IMG.$$$.
