Int 67 Fn FFA5 - Microsoft Emm386.exe V4.20+ - Installation Check [m]
AX = FFA5h
Return: AX = 845Ah if loaded
BX:CX -> API entry point
Notes: this call is available even if EMM386 is not providing EMS
if no other program has hooked INT 67, an alternate installation
check is to test for the string
"MICROSOFT EXPANDED MEMORY MANAGER 386" at offset 14h in the INT 67
handler's segment; the word immediately preceding this string
contains the offset of the API entry point
See Also: AH=3Fh,AX=FFA5h/BX=4345h,INT 21/AX=4402h"EMM386.EXE"
Call API entry point with:
AH = 00h get memory manager's status
Return: AH = status
bit 0: not active (OFF)
bit 1: in "Auto" mode
AH = 01h set memory manager's state
AL = new state (00h ON, 01h OFF, 02h AUTO)
AH = 02h Weitek coprocessor support
AL = subfunction
00h get Weitek support state
Return: AL = status
bit 0: Weitek coprocessor is present
bit 1: Weitek support is enabled
01h turn on Weitek support
02h turn off Weitek support
--- v4.20-4.41 only ---
AH = 03h Windows support???
AL = subfunction (00h, 01h)
AH = 04h print copyright notice to standard output
(using INT 21/AH=09h)
AH = 05h print available report
(the one shown when running EMM386 from the DOS prompt)
