Alternate Multiplex Interrupt Specification Sample Programs Public Domain 1992 Ralf Brown Version 0.90 LastEdit: 9/12/92 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AMITSRS list currently-installed TSRs using the alternate multiplex interrupt Usage: AMITSRS list manufacturer, name, and description of each TSR AMITSRS verbose listing; adds a second line with TSR version and private entry point (if any), a third line detailing the number of hotkeys and how checked, and additional lines listing the hotkeys (if any). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FASTMOUS convert slow (on some systems) mouse hardware reset call into mouse software reset call. Usage: FASTMOUS install FASTMOUS FASTMOUS R remove FASTMOUS from memory Resident Size: 128 bytes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOLPT turn a parallel port into a bit bucket by making it appear to always be ready for output and ignoring any output calls. Usage: NOLPT n install NOLPT on LPTn NOLPT nU remove (uninstall) NOLPT from LPTn Resident Size: 192/240 bytes (high/low) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE popup one-line note taker Usage: NOTE -Ifile install NOTE, using as the notepad NOTE -R remove NOTE from memory Note: NOTE keeps the notepad file open as long as it remains resident, in order to reduce the size of the resident code and data. The file is open in write-only deny-none mode, which allows other programs using the correct sharing modes (such as LIST.COM and 4DOS) to access the notepad. Unfortunately, COMMAND.COM does *NOT* use any sharing modes, even in version 5.0--two major releases after sharing modes were introduced. Thus you will get a sharing violation if you attempt to TYPE or COPY the notepad using COMMAND.COM while NOTE is loaded.
