DOS ain't dead

Documentation for RTM.EXE (16-Bit) from Borland (Developers)

Hello Japheth,

Thank you for a super fast reply! ...and yes, I think that "LIBRARY RTM" was the file I saw years ago in some of your zip files. Today I just downloaded the source of your HX DOS Extender (HXSRC216.zip) but its not in there. Where was that?

But my understanding is that you wrote that "emulation". How did you find out the meaning of the parameters on the stack?

Especially how do I find out the parameters needed for function RTM.21 (MemQueryFreeMem) and if it has a return value (in AX)?

> LIBRARY RTM

One more question (sorry): I didn't try it but, if I used your HX DOS Extender with the Delphi V1 command line compiler DCC.EXE (16-Bit) it might not work since it uses for example RTM.46 - I don't even have a name for that function.
