DOCUMENTATION FOR UNIVERSE.ASM (alias SWITCHAR.ASM) & SWITCHAR.PAS ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ UNIVERSE.ASM (aka SWITCHAR.ASM) From: Brandon Allbery Subject: Changing "\" to "/" Date: 5 Jul 85 00:08:35 GMT To: info-ibmpc@usc-isib.ARPA Expires: This assembler program does exactly that, for all those who want to be able to switch ``on demand''. Maybe I'll hack AVAILDEV into it later on. If you lack assembler, I can mail you the binary, or maybe post it; first I have to learn how to use uuencode on this beastie. . . --bsa -------------------------------------------------------------------- SWITCHAR.PAS From: George Smith Subject: Re: MS-DOS braindamage Date: 8 Jul 85 04:39:39 GMT To: info-ibmpc@usc-isib.ARPA The following refers to changing the switch character with the undocumented int 21H, function 37H: > It didn't seem to work on here (ITT DOS 2.11/1.0, apparently > MS-DOS 2.11), but that may have been a mistake of mine; I was > trying to hack through it with DEBUG.COM, without much > documentation. I ran the enclosed Turbo Pascal 3.0 program on my ITT Xtra with DOS 2.11 and it ran just fine. I guess hacking through problems with debug just doesn't cut it :-). BTW, the Xtra seems to be quite compatible with IBM PC/XTs. Every piece of software that I have tried on it has run with no problems and that includes some which have not run on a friend's Compaq. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please look at both sources for even more information....
