I just tested FreeDOS 1.2 and 1.3 and a couple of other versions of MS-DOS and issuing a Get Device Info (INT 21.4400) for STDIN (BX=0) returns attributes of 80D3h in DX, not 0. I also know that if STDIN is redirected that attributes returned will be those of the device that STDIN is redirected to, but I don't know if you're doing anything like that. In at least some of my programs I actually use INT 21.4400 on the STDOUT device to see if the output of my program has been redirected, and if so I know the output is not going to the screen (and is probably going to a file or to NUL or to PAUSE or something like that). _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
