44. Spelunking MS-DOS: documenting the undocumented

Author

Ladd, Scott Robert

Subjects

Abstract

Users who enter the undocumented internals of MS-DOS will find that they can discover functions or features of value. Although much time will be spent pursuing chains of logic up blind alleys, the thrill of finding something useful is well worth the trouble. Several useful and sometimes essential undocumented DOS functions and features are detailed. One feature involves terminate and stay resident (TSR) utilities. A variable within MS-DOS can be used to ensure well-behaved TSRs that exist peacefully and cooperatively with MS-DOS, other TSRs and regular applications. Another feature lets users examine undocumented fields within a data structure called the program segment prefix, which is created every time DOS loads a program. Users can thereby examine a program's command-line arguments, file tables and other associated information.
