- These three files contain some handy subroutines that I wrote a
- while back for an abandoned project. I've used them several times
- myself; I know they work. As written, they'll work unmodified
- with any MASM-compatible assembly programs. Although I haven't
- done it myself, they should require minimal conversion to work
- with most popular languages (Pascal, C, Basic). In the case of
- C, most compiler libraries already come with these functions, but
- it is my opinion that having working source code is of inestim-
- able value.
-
- getenv.asm
- Simple routine to fetch the value of an environment variable.
-
- runprog.asm
- Routine that uses the EXEC function to exectute an external prog-
- ram.
-
- doscmd.asm
- Uses both of the above to load a copy of COMMAND.COM and, option-
- ally, execute a DOS command. (getenv is used to get the value of
- COMSPEC).
-
- I hope that they can be as useful for others as they have been for
- me.
