The Interrupt List
The interrupt list is a comprehensive listing of interrupt calls, I/O ports,
memory locations, far-call interfaces, and more for IBM PCs and compatible
machines, both documented and undocumented. Well over six megabytes of
information in ASCII text files!
System Requirements: a computer which can extract ZIP files and
display plain vanilla ASCII text files. Some of the enclosed utilities are
slightly pickier :-).
The following links point at the most current version of the x86/MS-DOS
Interrupt List (Release 56, 21dec97). In Mosaic, set Load to Local
Disk from the Options menu before accessing them; in Lynx, select
Download while highlighting one of the links; in Microsoft
Internet Explorer, right-click on the link and select Save Target As.
Some people have reported trouble retrieving files from the above; if so, try
old-fashioned FTP
to get the interrupt list.
A number of people have converted some or all of the interrupt list files
into HTML format, for example
Marc Perkel and
DJ Delorie.
Note that the HTML conversions will generally lag a little behind the
current release (Delorie was still at Release 53 as of 03jan98).
The interrupt list has been

SPAWNO
A swapping replacement for the C runtime library's spawn..() functions.
Swaps the program to disk, EMS, XMS, or raw extended memory, leaving
less than 300 bytes in memory while the child program executes. Click
here to download version 4.13 (12/12/92).
This archive also includes a swapping replacement for the Turbo Pascal Exec()
function.
System Requirements: Compatible 16-bit C compiler (known to work
with Turbo/Borland C and MS C v6/7), or Turbo Pascal.
A function library to write self-highloading, removable TSRs in assembler.
The TSRs automatically avoid conflicts and can be unloaded in any order
(provided no non-AMIS TSR has hooked interrupts afterwards). You may
download AMISLIB version 0.92 (117k), or just
the AMIS v3.5 specification to which the
TSRs created with AMISLIB conform.
System Requirements: DOS 2.0+, MASM-compatible assembler.
A function library to take advantage of the DESQview API (as well as portions
of the QEMM private API). Includes complete source code, mainly in assembler,
as well as precompiled libraries in all six major memory models. Freeware.
Click to download version 1.72 (374k).
System Requirements: DESQview v2.0+ and a compatible compiler
(Turbo C, MS C, probably other 16-bit compilers).
RBcomm
A small, fast, DESQview-aware terminal program with VT100/VT52/ANSI and
AVATAR emulations, seamless Zmodem downloads, keyboard macros,
scrollback, etc. Runs in only 64K. Click
here to download version 3.46 (1/29/95).
System Requirements: MS/PC DOS 2.0 or higher, 64K available RAM,
IBM-compatible serial port, MDA/HGC/CGA/EGA/VGA/+. File transfers require
an external program such as PDZM or DSZ.
This package contains PCICFG, a program to display lots of information
about the PCI-bus devices inside a computer. All device-specific data
is stored in editable text files for ease of updates (submissions welcome!).
Click here to download version 1.10 (79k).
System Requirements: a computer with a PCI expansion bus.
A program for loading device drivers inside of DESQview windows. While
DESQview v2.40+ includes an equivalent program, DVdevload uses much less
memory, and includes a special small TSR to work around in incompatibility
between device loaders and the 4DOS/NDOS shells running inside DESQview
windows. Click here to download
it (11k).
System Requirements: DESQview 2.0 or higher.
A program for modifying the DESQview program information files (*.DVP) to
limit the number of times a program may poll the keyboard for keystrokes
before DESQview takes away its CPU time. Download
DVPTAME here (3.2k).
System Requirements: DESQview v1.0+.
A set of programs for using two color SuperVGA cards in one PC. You can
download the beta version 0.9 (19K). Includes
a TSR for swapping between displays and blanking both screens when the
system is not being used.
System Requirements: A PCI-bus computer with two PCI-bus VGA cards
installed.
A small TSR to swap the CapsLock and Left Control keys, as well as the
Esc and backquote/tilde keys. Uses only 64 bytes in a UMB.
RBKEYSWP.ZIP is just 4K to download.
System Requirements: DOS 2.0+
Set the speed of an Intel Neptune motherboard chipset from the command
line. Click to download RBSPEED1 now (6K).
System Requirements: Computer with an Intel Neptune chipset; may also
work on Intel Saturn chipsets.
SPTURBO
A simple IDE for using Borland's Turbo compilers from Borland's Sprint
word processor. Click to download SPTURBO now (10K).
DVKPOLL is a small shared program to
limit the number of keyboard polls a program may make under DESQview.
Programs Written by Others
Various EEL code for Epsilon.
VT100-related text files, as well as a VT100-compatibility checker
.
Programs to uncompress ZIP archives are available from
SimTel.Net
and many other places.
