Hi! I'm trying to make a DOS "shell", to improve the limited COMMAND.COM function.
In order to reduce memory usage, I need help...
Does one of you:
* Know a Pascal or C compiler which can make COM programs, * Know how to execute programs from an ASM program, * And how to access the program parameters from an ASM program.
Thanx for your help

- Know a Pascal or C compiler which can make COM programs,
Turbo Pascal V1.0, 2.0
- Know how to execute programs from an ASM program,
There is a DOS INT 21 function to do that. Check a DOS reference manual.
- And how to access the program parameters from an ASM program.

Good luck.
The program to beat is 4DOS from JP Software. It is the best. In fact, it's so good, I see no reason to replace it. Their tech support is great too.
