Full release still needs the documentation, but for your sake I have uploaded the (hopefully) stable binary driver:

HACKWRAP.SYS v1.0, alternate: HACKWRAP 1.0

HACKWRAP.SYS size : 853 bytes
MD5: D8F8FD626B64085AE5F1649C23B24577

Compared to the last HK31 beta (see past thread) :

- name change,
- better messages,
- no more "Press a key to continue the loading of drivers..." messages. It is assumed users know how to pause or otherwise step thru driver loading...
- finer analysis when under MS-DOS 7/8 a non-null TSRInfo is detected :
either the user is trying to install HACKWRAP multiple times, we report "not needed"; or some alien hacked the TSRInfo, or an otherwise undetermined case : we suggest user report (should not happen). In either case we do not (re)install HACKWRAP, of course.

You may download and use this program for testing or just for (illimited) use without any fee or obligation, except you don't modify or mass-distribute it without my authorisation.

While testing/playing with this toy, should you ever get the message alluded to above,

"HACKWRAP can't install, reason undetermined; probably not needed in this MS-DOS configuration. Please report..."

... well please do as you're told : report details here !!!!

Cheers ...


P.S. TASM source is available on request (drop me an email).
