For the people who do not have CONFIG.SYS / DEBUG.COM / MASM kung-fu , please do not give up.. Google, wiki and read up. The journey will be fascinating.
Put your lenses on for jump-offs produced by Google on keywords TSR and LIM EMS for further mind-bending fun.
And quit laughing at HIMEM.SYS
- yuhong 15y agoFor more about the redirector interface specifically, look up the sub-functions of AH=11h and AH=12h of INT 2F. Originally undocumented, this blog article mentions why they were designed the way it is.
- Hitchhiker 15y agoDo not forget Ralf Brown's Interrupt List ;-)

- zura 15y agoI always preferred TASM than MASM.
- Hitchhiker 15y agozura, spot on.. so did I.. till things became a bit difficult after Borland started to implode and Win 9x reached the endzone. for the new folk exploring TASM == http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Assembler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Assembler :-). wow, this whole thread coupled with the recent one on PE format has resulted in a serious trip down the memory lane for me personally.
- thibaut_barrere 15y agoSeconded :) But maybe that's because I used Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++! Just before discovering (and buying) the Watcom compiler.
