- TST is little TSR demo for CodeRunneR's PDK-3 capabilities. It allows
- you to run programs or COMMAND.COM while inside other applications,
- including those using graphics, mouse and coprocessor. Since TST
- saves forground application, it is best to run it from RAM disk,
- or to have LIM available. In case of LIM you get additional benefit
- of TSR size of only 1.4K of RAM. If you have HIGH-LOAD type utilities
- (like 386MAX) you can load TST into High Memory and use 0K low memory
- footprint and take up only 1.4K of high memory - the rest of TST is
- in EMS memory !
-
-
- RUNNING ANY PROGRAM
-
- After running TST.EXE press F11 or <Alt-COMMA> to pop-up execution window.
- On question "Program Name:" specify full path and name of the program
- (including COM or EXE extension).
-
- On question "Command Line" you can enter <CR> or the command options
- required by the application.
-
- The application will be executed and upon its exit, the screen will be
- retained until you hit any key. Then the original screen, preceeding
- the pop-up will be restored.
-
-
- RUNNING COMMAND SHELL
-
- To shell out into COMMAND.COM press F12 or <Alt-PERIOD> then run any
- commands at the command level.
-
-
- COMPILING TST.EXE
-
- In order to compile TST you MUST own CodeRunneR and PDK-3.
-
- TST.EXE is created by DO.BAT. Source files are TST.C, TSTID.C and TSTIC.C.
-
- LIM USE: The DO.BAT will compile & link assuming PDK-1 is available.
- If this is not the case remove PDK-1 dependent parts of DO.BAT
- as indicated in the batch file. When compiled with PDK-1,
- the TST.EXE program will reserve up to 192K of LIM if available,
- otherwise it will use swap file MEM_IMG.$$$.
