Int 21 Fn 2B44 - PCanywhere Iv/lan - Installation Check [R]
AX = 2B44h ('D')
BX = 4D41h ('MA')
CX = 7063h ('pc')
DX = 4157h ('AW')
Return: AX = 4F4Bh ('OK') if large host resident
= 6F6Bh ('ok') if small host resident
CX:DX -> API entry point
See Also: INT 16/AH=79h
Call API entry point with:
AX = 0000h get pcANYWHERE IV version
DS:SI -> BYTE buffer for host type code
Return: AH = version number
AL = revision number
DS:DI buffer byte filled with
00h full-featured host
01h limited-feature LAN host
other API may not be supported
AX = 0001h initialize operation
DS:SI -> initialization request structure (see below)
Return: AX = function status (see below)
AX = 0002h get status
Return: AH = current operating mode (see init req structure below)
AL = current connection status
bit 0: a physical connection is active
bit 1: remove screen updating is active
bit 2: connection checking is active
bit 3: hot key detection is active
bit 4: background file transfer is active
AX = 0003h suspend remote screen updates
Return: AX = function status (see below)
AX = 0004h resume screen updates
Return: AX = function status (see below)
AX = 0005h end current remote access session
DS:SI -> termination request structure (see below)
Return: AX = function status (see below)
AX = 0006h remove pcANYWHERE IV from memory
Return: AX = status
0000h successful
FFD2h unable to release allocated memory
FFD1h unable to release interrupt vectors
AX = 8000h read data from communications channel
DS:BX -> buffer
CX = buffer size
Return: AX >= number of characters read/available
AX < 0 on error
AX = 8001h write data to communications channel
DS:BX -> buffer
CX = buffer size
Return: AX >= number of characters written
AX < 0 on error
AX = 8002h get connection status
Return: AX = status
> 0000h if connection active
= 0000h if connection lost
< 0000h on error
Format of initialization request structure:
Offset Size Description
00h BYTE operating mode
00h wait for a call
01h hot key activates
02h incoming call activates
03h initiate a call
01h 3 BYTEs user ID to append to config file names
04h WORD DS-relative pointer to path for config files
06h WORD DS-relative pointer to path for program files
Format of termination request structure:
Offset Size Description
00h BYTE operating mode after termination
00h wait for a call
01h hot key activates
02h incoming call activates
80h use current mode
FFh remove from memory
Values for function status:
0000h function completed successfully
FFF2h unable to establish a connection when operating mode is
"Initiate a call"
FFF3h modem configuration is invalid (corrupt config)
FFF4h modem initialization failed (no modem response)
FFF5h the communications device could not be initialized
FFF6h the host operator aborted the function
FFF7h the communications driver type specified in the configuration file is
different than the one loaded when pcANYWHERE IV was initially started
FFF9h the configuration file is invalid
FFFAh the configuration file could not be found
FFFBh no session is active
FFFCh a remote access session is active
FFFDh the specified operating mode is invalid
