-
- [1] somewhat buggy in 2.31, as DV.EXE will use the specified multiplex
- number, but DVXMS.DVR (which DV.EXE loads) still uses the default
- DEh if no XDI drivers were loaded prior to DV.
-
- [2] /HW is immediately followed by a colon or an equal sign, 1 to 4 hex
- digits indicating the interrupt number, another colon or equal sign,
- and "L", "D", "F", "0", "M", "U", or "V" (DV 2.3+). "F" = Foreground,
- "V" = Virtualize video (program writes to screen from within hardware
- interrupt handler), "0"/"L" deal with disabling DV's handling of an IRQ.
-
- This switch is designed to accomodate failings in DOS application
- programs which violate Quarterdeck's view of "standard" programming
- procedures (though at least one variant is to correct a failing in
- DV itself, but QOS will not divulge which).
-
- [3] /FB, /FO, /SB, and /SO are immediately followed by a colon or an
- equal sign and 1 to 4 hex digits
-
- [4] /MR and /MT expect a hex number (/MR up to 4 digits, /MT up to 2 digits)
-
- [5] DV uses two banks of eight interrupts to relocate the hardware interrupts
- from their defaults of 08h-0Fh and 70h-77h. /XB specifies that a
- particular bank of interrupts not be considered available for the
- relocation; the specified hex number must be a multiple of 8 (i.e. X0 or
- X8).
