From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Mike McCarty Subject: Release memory and execute another program Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2006 23:41:38 -0500 Message-ID: <4431F902.8010900@sbcglobal.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-msdos-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: FreeDOS I have a program which I have used in past, and which I wrote, which loads and executes other programs, after hooking interrupts of choice. When I recently had a problem with trying to format under FreeDOS, I found that this program does not work under FreeDOS. It reports that there is insufficient memory. Perhaps the free memory call doesn't work. Anyway, I'd like to pursue this a little bit more, if possible. Who is there who would be interested in trying to track down what the incompatibility is? Also, I tried a different program which is part of Ralph Brown's package, and which completely locked up. It does direct writes to the memory area for the interrupt vectors. Is this not supported? Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
