[About The Guide]
BNU.COM is both a FOSSIL driver (TSR) and a utility which can
manipulate the resident version of itself. On first
successful loading, it will terminate and leave the driver
portion of itself (only about 5K or so plus buffer
requirements) resident, and allocate communication buffers
for each of the enabled ports (typically using 14K for a one
port install when 'diagnostics' mode is enabled). It then
captures and utilises the system's INT 14H (communications
services) vector and services requests for all FOSSIL and
non-FOSSIL aware programs using the INT 14H interface.
BNU will NEVER load itself more than once, unless within
different tasks when using a multitasker, such as
PC-MOS/386(tm), DESQview(tm), DoubleDOS(tm) or VM/386(tm).
This documentation assumes a working knowledge of MS-DOS, and
no effort is made to explain MS-DOS functions, commands or
setup. Some familiarity with BBS or mail capable software
and other FOSSIL drivers will definitely be an advantage, but
not required.
