Program: CDLANXtensions.
This program simulates the Microsoft CD ROM Extensions on Workstations not
Posessing the Physical ROM Drive. This program may allow a CD-ROM to be shared
across a LAN in certain circumstances where the following CD-ROM functions are
used:
1. INT 2Fh, Sub 1500h - Installation Check
2. INT 2Fh, Sub 150Bh - Drive Support Check
3. INT 2Fh, Sub 150Ch - Get MSCDEX.EXE Version (Returns 2.00)
4. INT 2Fh, Sub 150Dh - Get CD-ROM Drive Letters
Takes drive letter(s) [A-Z] as only parameter.
Returns ERRORLEVEL set as follows:
0 = Software Successfully Loaded
1 = Unsupported DOS Version
2 = Another CD-ROM Handler Already Installed
3 = Command Parameter Not Recognized

Usage: CDLANX {Redirected ROM drive list}
Example: CDLANX NR
Will load ROM Xtension support for local drives N: and R:
a. CDLANX needs to be run once per boot cycle. Local drives need not exist when
the software is loaded and may be broken and reestablished many times without
affecting CDLANX.
b. CDLANX can NOT be run more than once on a workstation. The software is smart
enough to detect itself and will refuse to load a second time.
c. CDLANX will NOT load in the presence of MSCDEX or any other CD-ROM drivers.
Our target application did not require us to write co-existance support in the
driver, although it is possible to do so.
WARNING!
CDLANX does NOT contain support for all MSCDEX v2.20 functions. Some CD-ROM's
which need basic support from MSCDEX will run with CDLANX instead. However,
other CD-ROM's which do use unsupported calls may crash your computer or behave
unpredictably, including permanent loss of data. Please test this software with
the desired CD-ROM using a non-critical computer.
