DWED first alpha (Announce)

(edited by DosWorld on 16.11.2020, 17:20)

+ Support user's shell script running with hotkeys F5, F8, F9.
(Now, possible try to say "IDE" :-) )

PS: Implemented via two .EXE: launcher (dwed.exe) and overlay (dwedovl.exe).
Launcher have hook in INT21 and serve fake file 'DWED:' (in any case) during overlay run.
Block-Writing pascal-string to this file - set command for run (after overlay exit with status code 254).
Block-Reading - receive pascal string with temp-file name (name shared between overlay running - to keep persistence).
Launcher - any time is real-mode exe, ~10kb, i hope, it is acceptable.
If overlay can't open file 'dwed:' - it is mean run not from launcher.

Good side - portable, don't require DPMI-specific programming.
Bad side - need forget about debugger for overlay.
