Re: [Freedos-devel] Re: How to detect if fd #0/#1 are the local console
Hi! 4--2004 16:47 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Eric Auer) wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: EA Hi! I suggest using isatty: EA write(isatty(1) ? 1 : 2, format (YES/NO)? , 17); EA The above example would show the confirm prompt on STDERR if STDOUT is EA redirected to a non-tty. There may be trouble with redirection to NUL, which is also device. As I post earlier, Eugeny Roshal checks if ioctl(1,0) == 0x83 (but I suggest, that enough to test 0x82). EA I guess CTTY devices are always TTYs, though. EA By the way, as far as I know, *only* COMn/AUX/CON can be CTTY targets. EA Now about CLS/... handling: Because CTTY is handled by FreeCOM itself, No. FreeCOM may be _re_called (for example, by system()) with already redirected handles by parent shell. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

This is strange, because fastcon bit (0x10) usually not set for non-local devices (thus, above describes using INT10 on, say, COMx). For example, currently all devices in my environment contains no 0x10 bit, except CON. And neither device contains ANSI support (thus sending ANSI sequence to this CON is useless). --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

[Freedos-devel] HIMEM and 64Mb of memory
Hi! BTW, I now recall one problem with too many memory: on machines with 64+ Mb of memory, NCACHE2 (from Norton Utilities 8 package) with EXT option (without argument, which selects max of memory) says about zero available memory. I _suggest_, HIMEM should return slightly less, than 64Mb for XMS2. Michaele, if you wish, I send you ncache2.exe for test. Command line: ncache2 install ext. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

Re: [Freedos-devel] NCACHE2
As far as I remember, NCACHE2 doesn't work with DOS versions later than 6. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

This is only one example, that some programs may be crazy, when returned memory value is too big (because arithmetic overflow). --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
