17. What DPMI / DOS extenders should/can I use ?

- HDPMI32 (see links above)
- DOS/32 (needs LE-executables, no example yet ?)

Unfortunately none of existing DOS extenders or DPMI kernels is written in FASM.

Quick additions for ya:

RxDOS (free w/ MASM src, handles LFN on FAT32, somewhat lacking though)
Datalight ROM-DOS Single User Version (freeware, but untested by me, so far)
DOS/32a example? How about Star Tetris 2? (uses BCC/ TASM/TLINK)
Don't forget WDOS/X (supposedly? works w/ PE if you use a fixups section and heap ??).

Maybe you could add MiniDos to the list of Dos, it's written in fasm, it run some basic Dos com or mz exe programs, it runs in 16bit RM, it's full commented and is easy to add to.
But most of all its less than 2k.

8086 BIOS and DOS interrupts. Nice reference, it talks about the supported interrupts in emu8086 only but it comes with some simple examples. It's not a replacement for Ralf Brown's interrupt list but I found it very handy (and more easy to navegate because it doesn't come with lots of info that you probably will never use).

BTW, at least one open source .EXE/.SYS combo is available (but not written in FASM ... however, it should've been, lol):

DosIdle: Small tool to detect idle state in DOS. Useful if DOS runs in a virtual environment and causing a very high CPU load. Source is included.

DOS 04/2007

In other words, not for use in real DOS, only under QEMU, BOCHS, etc.

P.S. Oops, forgot about his SETMXX tools too (also .EXE/.SYS):

Some small tools which set "unusual" text mode resolutions:

SETM34: 80x34 with 14 pixel font on any VGA compatible card

SETM60: 80x60 with 8 pixel font on any VGA compatible card

SETM37: 100x37 with 16 pixel font on all VESA VGA cards supporting VESA mode 0x102 (800x600x4)

SETM48: 128x48 with 16 pixel font on all VESA VGA cards supporting VESA mode 0x104 (1024x768x4)

DOS Win9x 12/2006

Would you add my link for 64-bit programming in DOS ?

Hey, nice FAQ. Care to become a new DOS forum moderator? Wink

I think it may also be worth to include this very old discussion about flat real mode:
