I verify the information contained in this list to the best of my ability, but I cannot be held responsible for any problems caused by use or misuse of the information, especially for those functions not officially documented. If it is marked "internal" or undocumented, you should check it carefully to make sure it works the same way in your version of the software (and please let me know whether or not it works the same way). Information marked with "???" is known to be incomplete or guesswork. --------!---FLAGS---------------------------- The use of -> instead of = signifies that the indicated register or register pair contains a pointer to the specified item, rather than the item itself. One or more letters may follow the interrupt number; they have the following meanings: U - undocumented function, u - partially documented function, P - available only in protected mode, R - available only in real or V86 mode, C - callout or callback (usually hooked rather than called), O - obsolete (no longer present in current versions) --------!---CATEGORIES----------------------- The ninth column of the divider line preceding an entry usually contains a classification code (the entry has not been classified if that character is a dash). The codes currently in use are: A - applications, a - access software (screen readers, etc), B - BIOS, b - vendor-specific BIOS extensions, C - CPU-generated, c - caches/spoolers, D - DOS kernel, d - disk I/O enhancements, E - DOS extenders, e - electronic mail, F - FAX, f - file manipulation, G - debuggers/debugging tools, g - games, H - hardware, h - vendor-specific hardware, I - IBM workstation/terminal emulators, i - system info/monitoring J - Japanese, j - joke programs, K - keyboard enhancers, k - file/disk compression, l - shells/command interpreters, M - mouse/pointing device, m - memory management, N - network, n - non-traditional input devices, O - other operating systems, P - printer enhancements, p - power management, Q - DESQview/TopView and Quarterdeck programs, R - remote control/file access, r - runtime support, S - serial I/O, s - sound/speech, T - DOS-based task switchers/multitaskers, t - TSR libraries U - resident utilities, u - emulators, V - video, v - virus/antivirus, W - MS Windows, X - expansion bus BIOSes, y - security, * - reserved (and not otherwise classified) --------H-0A--------------------------------- INT 0A - IRQ2 - LPT2 (PC), VERTICAL RETRACE INTERRUPT (EGA,VGA) Notes: the TOPS and PCnet adapters use this interrupt request line by default DOS 3.2 revectors IRQ2 to a stack-switching routine on ATs and above, the physical data line for IRQ2 is labeled IRQ9 and connects to the slave 8259. The BIOS redirects the interrupt for IRQ9 back here. under DESQview, only the INT 15h vector and BASIC segment address (the word at 0000h:0510h) may be assumed to be valid for the handler's process many VGA boards do not implement the vertical retrace interrupt, including the IBM VGA Adapter where the traces are either cut or removed SeeAlso: INT 52"DESQview",INT 5A"DoubleDOS",INT 71,INT 7A"GO32" --------H-0D--------------------------------- INT 0D - IRQ5 - FIXED DISK (PC,XT), LPT2 (AT), reserved (PS/2) Notes: under DESQview, only the INT 15h vector and BASIC segment address (the word at 0000h:0510h) may be assumed to be valid for the handler's process the Tandy 1000, 1000A, and 1000HD use IRQ2 for the hard disk; the 1000EX, HX, RLX, RLX-HD, RLX-B, RLX-HD-B use IRQ5 instead; the 1000RL, RL-HD, SL, SL/2, TL, TL/2, and TL/3 are jumper-selectable for either IRQ2 or IRQ5 (default IRQ5); the 1000SX and TX are DIP-switch selectable for IRQ2 or IRQ5 (default IRQ2); the RSX and RSX-HD use IRQ14. Tandy systems which use IRQ2 for the hard disk interrupt use IRQ5 for vertical retrace. may be masked by setting bit 5 on I/O port 21h SeeAlso: INT 0E"IRQ6",INT 0F"IRQ7",INT 55"DESQview",INT 5D"DoubleDOS" SeeAlso: INT 7D"GO32" --------V-1000------------------------------- INT 10 - VIDEO - SET VIDEO MODE AH = 00h AL = mode (see #0009) Return: AL = video mode flag (Phoenix, AMI BIOS) 20h mode > 7 30h modes 0-5 and 7 3Fh mode 6 AL = CRT controller mode byte (Phoenix 386 BIOS v1.10) Desc: specify the display mode for the currently active display adapter Notes: IBM standard modes do not clear the screen if the high bit of AL is set (EGA or higher only) SeeAlso: AX=0070h,AX=007Eh,AX=10E0h,AX=10F0h,AH=40h,AX=6F05h,AH=FFh"GO32" (Table 0009) Values for video mode: text/ text pixel pixel colors disply scrn system grph resol box resolution pages addr 21h = T 132x30 . . 16 . .

B800 DESQview 2.x+Hercules [4] Notes: [4] DESQview intercepts calls to change into these two modes (21h is page 0, 22h is page 1) even if there is no Hercules graphics board installed --------Q-1080--DX4456----------------------- INT 10 U - VIDEO - DESQview 2.0x only - internal - SET ??? HANDLER AH = 80h DX = 4456h ('DV') ES:DI -> FAR subroutine to be called on ??? Return: DS = segment of DESQview data structure for video buffer Note: this function is probably meant for internal use only, due to the magic value required in DX the subroutine seems to be called when the DESQview menu is accessed; on entry, AL = 03h or 04h --------Q-1081--DX4456----------------------- INT 10 U - VIDEO - DESQview 2.0x only - internal - GET ??? AH = 81h DX = 4456h ('DV') Return: ES = segment of DESQview data structure for video buffer BYTE ES:[0] = current window number in DV 2.0x Note: this function is probably meant for internal use only, due to the magic value required in DX SeeAlso: AH=82h"DESQview" --------Q-1082--DX4456----------------------- INT 10 U - VIDEO - DESQview 2.0x only - internal - GET CURRENT WINDOW INFO AH = 82h DX = 4456h ('DV') Return: DS = segment in DESQview for data structure in DV 2.00, BYTE DS:[0] = window number WORD DS:[1] = segment of other data structure WORD DS:[3] = segment of window's object handle ES = segment of DESQview data structure for video buffer AL = current window number AH = ??? BL = direct screen writes 00h program does not do direct writes 01h program does direct writes, so shadow buffer not usable BH = ??? CL = current video mode CH = ??? Note: this function is probably meant for internal use only, due to the magic value required in DX SeeAlso: AH=81h"DESQview" --------V-10FE------------------------------- INT 10 - TopView - GET SHADOW BUFFER AH = FEh ES:DI -> assumed video buffer B800h:0000h color text/CGA graphics, B000h:0000h mono text, or A000h:0000h EGA/VGA graphics (RSIS environments only) Return: ES:DI -> actual video buffer for calling process Desc: Determine the address of the virtual screen to which the program should write instead of the actual video memory; this permits programs to be multitasked without interfering with each other's output, and allows memory managers to move the video memory to permit larger programs to be loaded. Notes: if no multitasker or RSIS-compliant environment is installed, ES:DI is returned unchanged; RSIS is the Relocated Screen Interface Specification for display pages other than 0, use AH=05h and AH=0Fh to determine whether a particular page exists TopView requires a call to AH=FFh to notify it that the screen has changed; DESQview will check for changes itself until the first call to AH=FFh SeeAlso: AH=05h,AX=5201h,AH=FFh,INT 15/AX=1024h,INT 21/AH=2Bh"DESQview" SeeAlso: INT 21/AH=ECh"DoubleDOS" --------V-10FF------------------------------- INT 10 - TopView - UPDATE SCREEN FROM SHADOW BUFFER AH = FFh CX = number of consecutive changed characters ES:DI -> first changed character in shadow buffer Notes: avoid CX=0000h DESQview will discontinue the automatic screen updating initiated by AH=FEh after this call not supported (ignored) by DESQview/X 1.0x SeeAlso: AH=93h,AH=FEh --------d-1320------------------------------- INT 13 - DISK - ??? (Western Digital "Super BIOS") AH = 20h ??? Return: ??? Notes: returns some kind of status related to whether the drive contains its default media type QEMM v6.00 calls INT 13/AX=2000h/DL=81h in some cases --------Q-151000----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "PAUSE" - GIVE UP CPU TIME AX = 1000h Return: after other processes run Note: under DESQview, if the process issuing this call has hooked INT 08h, the current time-slice is set to expire at the next clock tick rather than immediately SeeAlso: AH=00h"MultiDOS",AX=5305h,INT 21/AH=89h,INT 21/AH=EEh"DoubleDOS" SeeAlso: INT 2F/AX=1680h,INT 60/DI=0106h,INT 62/AH=01h,INT 7A/BX=000Ah SeeAlso: INT 7F/AH=E8h --------Q-151001----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "GETMEM" - ALLOCATE "SYSTEM" MEMORY AX = 1001h BX = number of bytes to allocate Return: ES:DI -> block of memory or 0000h:0000h (DV v2.26+) AX = status (DV v2.42) 0000h successful 0001h failed Note: use SETERROR (AX=DE15h) to avoid a user prompt if there is insufficient common memory. Under DV v2.42, this call never generates a user prompt regardless of the SETERROR value; instead, it always returns AX=0001h and ES:DI=0000h:0000h if out of memory SeeAlso: AX=1002h,AX=102Eh,AX=DE0Ch,AX=DE15h --------Q-151002----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "PUTMEM" - DEALLOCATE "SYSTEM" MEMORY AX = 1002h ES:DI -> previously allocated block Return: block freed SeeAlso: AX=1001h,AX=DE0Dh --------Q-151003----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "PRINTC" - DISPLAY CHARACTER/ATTRIBUTE ON SCREEN AX = 1003h BH = attribute BL = character DX = segment of object handle for window Note: BX=0 does not display anything, it only positions the hardware cursor --------Q-1510------------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - UNIMPLEMENTED IN DV 2.x AH = 10h AL = 04h thru 12h Return: pops up "Programming error" window in DV 2.x --------Q-151013----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "GETBIT" - DEFINE A 2ND-LEVEL INTERRUPT HANDLER AX = 1013h ES:DI -> FAR service routine Return: BX = bit mask indicating which bit was allocated 0000h if no more bits available SeeAlso: AX=1014h,AX=1015h Note: only a few TopView/DESQview API calls are allowed during a hardware interrupt; if other calls need to be made, the interrupt handler must schedule a 2nd-level interrupt with "SETBIT" (AX=1015h) --------Q-151014----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "FREEBIT" - UNDEFINE A 2ND-LEVEL INTERRUPT HANDLER AX = 1014h BX = bit mask from INT 15/AX=1013h SeeAlso: AX=1013h,AX=1015h --------Q-151015----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "SETBIT" - SCHEDULE ONE OR MORE 2ND-LEVEL INTERRUPTS AX = 1015h BX = bit mask for interrupts to post Return: indicated routines will be called: (DV 2.0x) at next task switch (DV 2.2x) immediately on return from hardware interrupt SeeAlso: AX=1013h,AX=1014h Notes: this is one of the few TopView calls which are allowed from a hardware interrupt handler the handler will be called with ES containing the segment of the handle of the next task to be executed; on return, ES must be the segment of a task handle --------Q-151016----------------------------- INT 15 - TopView - "ISOBJ" - VERIFY OBJECT HANDLE AX = 1016h ES:DI = possible object handle Return: BX = status FFFFh if ES:DI is a valid object handle (see #0282) 0000h if ES:DI is not Note: under DESQview versions prior to 2.50, an object handle is always a pointer to the object; for versions 2.50 and up, only task handles are always pointers (other handles may consist of a unique object number and offset into DESQview's common memory) SeeAlso: AX=DE14h,AX=DE2Bh,AX=DE2Ch (Table 0281) Values for DESQview object type: 00h window/task 01h mailbox 02h keyboard 03h timer 04h pointer 05h panel 06h objectq Format of DESQview object: Offset Size Description (Table 0282) 00h WORD offset in common memory of previous object of same type 02h WORD offset in common memory of next object of same type 04h WORD signature FEDCh (DV 2.42-) signature FEDCh or object number (DV 2.50+) 06h WORD object type (see #0281) 08h DWORD object handle to return to caller 0Ch DWORD canonicalized object address (segment = common memory) 10h WORD offset in common memory of owning task (0000h for unowned OBJECTQs) 12h WORD mapping context offset in common memory of mapping context record (see #0284) remainder varies by object type and DESQview version ---v2.42 keyboard object--- 14h WORD flag bits (see also AH=12h/BH=0Ah"OBJECT") bit 15: keyboard opened 16h 4 BYTEs ???

version 4D only provides the signature string if the commandline argument "DV" is provided 386MAX v6.01 responds to this call, but DESQview 2.42 does not recognize the returned entry point as providing QEMM's capabilities because a) only functions 0Ch (different from QEMM 0Ch) and 1000h-1009h are supported, b) status is returned as for EMS functions, not QEMM funcs c) the protected-mode entry point returned by function 1000h only supports functions 0Ch, 1004h, 1005h, and 100Ah the string check mentioned above is not supported by 386MAX SeeAlso: AX=5BF0h,AH=DDh,AX=FFA5h,INT 15/AX=11DEh,INT 21/AX=4402h/SF=01h SeeAlso: INT 21/AX=4402h"QEMM",INT 21/AX=4402h"386MAX",INT 2F/AX=D201h/BX=5145h (Table 1967) Values for calling QEMM "QPI_GetStatus" function: AH = 00h get QEMM state Return: CF clear AL = QEMM state bit 0 set if QEMM turned OFF bit 1 set if in "Auto" mode Note: this function is officially documented (Table 1968) Values for calling QEMM "QPI_SetStatus" function: AH = 01h set QEMM state AL = new state bit 0 set: place QEMM in OFF state Return: CF clear if successful CF set on error Note: this function is officially documented (Table 1969) Values for calling QEMM QPI function 02h: AH = 02h get ???
