INT 2F C - StackMan - INSTALLATION BROADCAST AX = C9FFh BL = BCD(Binary Coded Decimal) A method of data storage where two decimal digits are stored in each byte, one in the upper four bits and the other in the lower four bits. Since only the values 0 through 9 are used in each half of a byte, BCD values can be read as decimal numbers on a hexadecimal display of memory or a file. version number CX = number of stacks DX = stack size in bytes Program: StackMan is a freeware stack manager by Franz Veldman of ESaSS B.V. which functions as a replacement for the DOS STACK= command as well as permitting multiple TSRs to share a pool of stack space InstallCheck: test for the string "STACKXXX" at offset 0Ah from the INT B4 handler Note: called by StackMan when it goes resident to inform interested TSRs that its 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. is available SeeAlso: INT B4"StackMan",INT B5"StackMan" Index: installation check;STACKMAN|broadcasts;STACKMAN installation
