JSIL is likely to be first thought of as JavaScript Intermediate Language, but 
it does have that ring to it.

Hmm... JSIL does have a nice ring to it. :)

Hi all,

The other day someone asked me to make a “general” improvement the the RBIL 
HTML edition created by my rbil2html utility. It would be nice if pages like 
list of BIOS or DOS Kernel interrupts included the function call information 
(like AH=03h) in the list. Such a simple little improvement. It had been a very 
long time since I wrote that conversion program. It would be nice for a small 
diversion from the other things I have been doing lately. So, why not. LOL.

That was a core and a half to add. For one, those pages don’t exist in RBIL. 
They are generated entirely by the program after conversion. Then there was 
where does that information on other pages come from and how to get it from one 
place to another.

Anyhow, It now has that info on those types of pages. Plus, I included the very 
very small update to the actual RBIL information. For example, if you visit the 
page regarding the DOS LOAD AND/OR EXECUTE PROGRAM[1] function, you can see a 
“MORE:” down towards the end. This is information discussed recently while 
helping fix a couple long command line bugs in FreeCOM.

Here is an interesting thing about the rbil2html conversion program. At 
present, no changes are made to the original RBIL. Things like the addition to 
the Exec function, some typographic errors and a few other minor things are 
replaced or glued in by the conversion program at runtime. Which is handled by 
a corrections section for the specific RBIL release version in the data files 
for appending it.

Because, What if there is a new release of RBIL? Then, I could just check if 
the changes are still needed or need adjusted. But in reality, we all know that 
there is not every going to be another official release. So, I should probably 
just update the actual RBIL files and make periodic releases with the new 
information.

Anyhow, if there is any specific additional information you’d like included in 
the HTML Edition, you could always send it to me or submit it to the rbil2html 
project’s appended data[2]. Be warned… It must be in the format used by the 
rest of RBIL with the correct section headers and such. I have far to much to 
do already to spend time on converting generic text into the correct format.

:-)
