MED.COM The Multitasking Environment Detector Copyright (c), 1996 Enver J. Berkes This program detects whether a multitasking environment, such as Windows, is running in the background. This program may falsely function if it is run under certain expanded memory managers (not DOS's), but otherwise it works fine. For example, you can include MED in a batch file that runs a game that freezes under Windows: @echo off med if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 goto inwindows DOOM goto end :inwindows echo Sorry! You are in Windows at the moment. Exit Windows first. :end You can use IF ERRORLEVEL 0 IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 to see if you are in Windows. MED returns 1 when not in a multitasking environment, and 0 it detects a background environment. If you find this program useful, I would appreciate a $5 donation sent to: Enver J.
