- Example of loading a .EXP file from within an Application.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This directory contains a fragment of example code which demonstrates
- the use of the "load .EXP file" system call. It shows how you can
- use this call from within your application to load and execute
- a .EXP file as an overlay or child program. In this example, we
- call the child program with a FAR call, and when the child has
- completed execution, it returns with a FAR return. You can, of
- course, make the interface between the application and child process
- more complex depending on your needs.
-
- The example child program which we build here is called FARHELLO, and
- it simply writes the string hello world on the console and does a FAR
- return back to the application. Note that it does NOT do an INT 21h,
- subfunction 4C to exit -- this would cause both the application and
- child to exit. It instead does a FAR return to get back to the application.
-
- To build the example, use the load.bat file in this directory.
-
- Execute the example with the command line:
-
- run386 load farhello.exp
-
- This example was built with High C-386 Version 1.6, and its compiler driver.
- You may have to make small modifications to the batch file which builds it
- for other compilers or different versions of High C-386.
