APPEN. B - DOS NOTES

D O S T E C H N I C A L N O T E S

This section reveals the extensions and altera-

tions made to certain DOS calls. If you are not

a machine/assembly language programmer, this

section will probably make little sense to you.

None of this information need be understood to

use the enhanced DOS.

The information outlined in this section is

proprietary to Rana Systems. It is supplied to

you strictly for your own enlightenment. If you

wish to make use of this information for your

own private non-commercial purposes, please feel

free. However, due to the fact that this infor-

mation extends beyond the point of normal DOS

usage, Rana Systems will not furnish any addi-

tional support concerning the information pro-

vided in this section.

This section relies upon the reader being famil-

iar with interfacing programs to the three main

segments of DOS. Information concerning these

interfaces is split between two manuals: Apple’s

The DOS Manual and Quality Software’s Beneath

Apple DOS. Quality Software’s manual is by far

the more informative concerning machine level

interfacing to the DOS File Manager and RWTS,

while it leaves the explanation of the Command

Interpreter’s text commands to Apple’s manual.
