- Date: 23 Sep 88 23:01:02 GMT
- Summary: priac.arc, displays inter-application communications area
- Approved: dhesi@bsu-cs.UUCP
-
- PRIAC reads and reports the current contents of the Inter-Application
- Communications Area (IAC). The executable and assembly source are
- included.
-
- The IAC is 16 bytes beginning at addr 0040:00F0h. Any program can write
- information to the IAC for another program to read. The IAC can be
- used, for instance, to pass an address from one program to the next.
-
- This is one of three programs, being posted consecutively to this
- newsgroup, that was written using MASM 5.0 by Hardin Brothers for the
- April 1988 issue of PC Resource magazine, (C) Copyright 1988 by IDG
- Communications/Peterborough, Inc.
-
- Hardin Brothers is a freelance programmer and technical writer. Write
- to him at 280 N. Campus Ave., Upland, CA 91786. Enclose a self-
- addressed, stamped envelope for a reply.

- v1.1, 27 Sep 88 Toad Hall hack
- - Converted to .COM format (I HATE .EXE programs for these little things.)
- - Tightened original code
- - Demo how to leave information in the IAC for later reads.
- Original source and .EXE left intact.
