INT 15 - DESQview v2.26+ - "ASSERTMAP" - GET/SET MAPPING CONTEXT
AX = DE17h
BX = function
0000h get current mapping context without setting
nonzero set new mapping context to BX
Return: BX = mapping context in effect before call
Notes: mapping contexts determine conventional-memory addressability; setting
a mapping context ensures that the associated program and data areas
are in memory for access. Usable by drivers, TSRs and shared
programs.
caller need not be running under DESQview
this API(Application Program[ming] Interface) The defined set of calls which a program may make to interact with or request services of the operating system or environment under which it is running. Because the inputs and outputs of the calls are well-defined, a program using the API can continue using the identical calls even if the internal organization of the program providing the API changes. call may be made from a hardware interrupt handler
