Killd.exe executable to the MSDOS environment and execute it there Īfter all, the executable was compiled for a 16-bit MSDOS environment. The program accordingly, which we won't do here. Order to run the program under protected mode, we would have to change Which we've already seen on the picture above.Īctually, though, the program can't be executed successfully, since it'sīeing run in protected mode, which isn't the same as the real mode. The program should be able to run successfully,

Present on the current versions of Windows operating systems forīackward compatibility. It must be executed under the 16-bit MSDOS subsystem that is still What happens when we run the application? The executable is 16-bit, so Taken from the middle of the output of the killd.exe executable). Values from IVT and after that, nulling them (note that the output was Something like the following to show that at first we're reading the If we try to run the executable in Windows XP right now, it will display Successful and that the killd.exe executable was successfully created. "Execution complete" which notifies us that the compilation was Is successful, the IDE Log will display something like the following:Īt the end of the execution log, we can see that there's a line

Order to compile the source code into an executable. It to the disk, we can go back to the IDE and click on Targets – Make in When we've inputted the right source code into the text editor and saved Why we need to copy the above code to the text editor in order to Source file, a text editor will open where we can add, modify and deleteĪt first, this file will be empty as seen on the picture below, which is Then we need to click on Sources – New Source and select the killdos.cįile as can be seen on the picture below. Which will compile the source code to a 16-bit executable that can be Killd as project name and selected the DOS – 16-bit target environment, This can be seen on the picture below, where we've typed New Project, and specify the name of the project and the TargetĮnvironment. This is done, we can start Watcom IDE by going to the C:WATCOMBINNTĭirectory and double-clicking on the IDE.exe executable: The installation will then continue and add Watcom on the system.

Upon clicking I Agree, you have to select the installation directory,Īfter clicking Next, you have to specify whether you would like a full Upon starting the installation procedure, theįollowing message will pop-up and ask you if you agree to the license: I've chosen the open-watcom-c-dos-1.9.exe executable, downloaded it and Installing and Compiling with Open Watcom In order toĬompile the above source code into the 16-bit executable, we'll use Open Studio doesn't support that in newer versions anymore. Since MSDOS is a 16-bitĮnvironment, we need to compile it into a 16-bit executable but Visual The problem is compiling the source code. #define IDT_VECTOR_SZ 4 // size of the each IVT vector #define IDT_255_ADDR 1020 // start address of the last IVT vector #define IDT_001_ADDR 0 // start address of the first IVT vector The complete code of the KDOS.c program is taken from Appendix A in KDOS.c from that will serve as a reference. Vector table, which we'll describe in detail. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at the structure of the interrupt It is 1024 bytes in size, so it can hold 256 interrupt vectors. Particularly interested with the IVT table that contains the interrupt p " command, which will show us exactly which part of memory is usedīy the system, processes, or for IVT, etc. Upon booting up MSDOS, we can observe the memory using the " mem /d
