Multi-Tasking MS-DOS | ||
Beta Test Release 1.00 | ||
|
||
Command Guide | ||
|
||
|
||
ARENA.EXE - Prints out arena assignments | ||
|
||
arena | ||
|
||
The system's memory arena is printed out. The | ||
number listed under the owner field is the PID of | ||
the process which owns the memory. | ||
|
||
|
||
BBSET.EXE - Set and report on behavior bits | ||
|
||
bbset [-o] [ {+|-}bitname ... ] fname ... | ||
|
||
BBSET sets or clears behavior bits in an .EXE file | ||
header. Multi-Tasking MS-DOS uses the behavior | ||
bits to determine the level of special | ||
compatibility support needed to run the | ||
application. | ||
|
||
BBSET will set (if +bitname) or clear (if - | ||
bitname) the named behavior bit(s) from the | ||
specified files. If the -o switch is specified, | ||
BBSET writes a report on the current setting of | ||
all the defined behavior bits to stdout after | ||
making the requested changes. | ||
|
||
For a list of behavior bits that BBSET knows | ||
about, type BBSET without any arguments. | ||
|
||
|
||
COUNTDOW.EXE - Count down a CPU loop | ||
|
||
countdown number | ||
|
||
Its argument is a number; it counts the number | ||
down to 0, at about a 1hz rate. It prints out | ||
the countdown. Another CPU loop program like | ||
TEXT, but this one terminates when the count | ||
reaches 0 | ||
|
||
|
||
DETACH.EXE - Detaches a child process | ||
|
||
detach command [argument ...] | ||
|
||
The command given is run as a background process. | ||
Detach prints out the Command Subgroup ID (CSID) | ||
which may be used as an argument to KILL to | ||
terminate the process. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
HE_DAEM.EXE - Hard error catcher | ||
|
||
detach he_daem | ||
|
||
Intercepts hard errors, reports them and requests | ||
user action. This should always be run in the | ||
background for now. Put the above command line in | ||
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you're not going to use | ||
the Session Manager (SM). | ||
|
||
|
||
KILL.EXE - send a signal to a process | ||
|
||
kill [-nn] [sig=nn] [disp=mm] pid ... | ||
|
||
Sends signal nn with disposition mm to processes | ||
mentioned in pid. Defaults to SIGTERM and process | ||
tree disposition. | ||
|
||
|
||
POUND.EXE - Exercise disk I/O system | ||
|
||
pound [t]count filea fileb | ||
|
||
Pound reads sequencially through filea and fileb, | ||
reading 512 bytes at a time alternating between | ||
the files on each read. When the end of file is | ||
read the following read for that file begins at | ||
the beginning of the file. If a count is | ||
specified without the preceeding "t" then pound | ||
reads 512 bytes, count number of times from each | ||
file before the program terminates. If "t" | ||
preceeds the count value then the files are read | ||
for count number of seconds before the program | ||
terminates. | ||
|
||
|
||
SLEEP.EXE - Sleep for a while | ||
|
||
sleep sec[.millisec] | ||
|
||
Sleep will execute a sleep system call for the | ||
number of seconds and milliseconds specified. | ||
This might be useful in batch files to pause for | ||
an interval as opposed to waiting for a user | ||
response. | ||
|
||
|
||
SM.EXE - Session manager | ||
|
||
sm | ||
|
||
Manages multiple processes running on different | ||
screens. Uses initialization file SM.INI. This | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
program includes the hard error catcher, so don't | ||
run HE_DAEM if you're going to use this. See the | ||
file SM.DOC for more information. | ||
|
||
|
||
TEXT.EXE - Loop and print text | ||
|
||
text argument | ||
|
||
CPU loops and prints its argument every 2 CPU | ||
seconds or so | ||
|

Multi-Taking MS-DOS | ||
Beta Test Release 1.00 | ||
|
||
Release Notes | ||
|
||
|
||
Enclosed you will find Microsoft's first beta release | ||
of Multi-tasking MS-DOS. This version is based upon MS-DOS | ||
Version 2 sources, we will be reimplementing the multi- | ||
tasking enhancements on top of Version 3 sources shortly. | ||
|
||
Although we have distributed a bootable disk for the | ||
IBM PC, this package can be adapted to any MS-DOS machine. | ||
Those manufacturers who are designing IBM compatible ROMs, | ||
would be wise to keep multi-tasking in mind. Specifically, | ||
this IBM PC implementation has had to hook out the entire | ||
disk (both floppy and hard disk) ROM code because after he | ||
IBM code set's up the DMA transfer it simply loops in ROM | ||
waiting for the interrupt to occur (routine WAIT_INT). | ||
|
||
Problems you may wish to avoid within future ROMs are: | ||
1) loading ES with the physical video RAM location | ||
(label M3) | ||
2) Looping in ROM on Cntrl-NumLock (label K40) | ||
3) No way to add special detecting special key | ||
strokes which a jump out into RAM after reading | ||
the keystroke at KB_INT would avoid | ||
4) Not being able to hook the loading of DS to point | ||
to DATA (EQU 40H) in numerous routines. | ||
Other than these deficiencies the ROM code developed should | ||
be very usable. | ||
|
||
By implementing the above suggestions, the size of your | ||
BIOS can be reduced since it will not be necessary to | ||
duplicate functionality in RAM. | ||
|
||
More detailed specifications of the device driver | ||
formats will be forth coming. For the time being you will | ||
have to make use of the sample source code for the IBM PC. | ||
If you have further questions please contact Microsoft OEM | ||
customer support through Technical Assist Requests (TAR). | ||
