- TITLE CRITERR -- Trap and display critical errors in a
- pop-up window
-
- DESCIPTION CRITERR (the file CRITERR.EXE) is a resident program that
- will trap and display DOS Critical Errors. It displays the
- type of error, what device was involved, a little technical
- information about the error, and a list of possible actions
- in a "pop-up" window. You respond by typing the first
- letter of the action you wish to take. The window will then
- close and leave the screen undisturbed. This program is most
- helpful when screen sensitive programs are executed because
- the screen remains undisturbed.
-
- TECHINCAL
- INFORMATION CRITERR "hooks" itself into both interrupt 0x21 and 0x24.
- It will not pass on execution to anything else using 0x24,
- and in fact, will "unhook" any other program from 0x24. It
- uses interrupt 0x21 to "re-hook" itself whenever a DOS call
- is made, and will pass on execution to other programs
- "hooked" into this interrupt. Therefore, this program may
- not work well with other programs using interrupt 0x24.
-
- If you encounter any problems with this program, or have
- any comments, leave a message to me on the Plantz IBBS
- (my id is ID0978) at (312) 885-9557.
