form@fix'ing a "DOS .com" program

This page is for facilitating your work with form@fix. in developing a DOS-runnable, with the .com (program) file format.

For a .com to run on MS-DOS, include this file (i.e: \F "fixDC.htm"). The rest of the form@fix code in that file, must go after where this file is framed at.

\F "fixDef.htm"
//... for ensuring that, fixDef.htm is framed, first.
//Otherwise, fixDC.htm would not function right.

\a form@fix@RunTime_Max  

\f platform 2 \\MSDOS .com

from here ...

To tell MS-DOS, where to start running, the next frame is handy. This frame is in a null-terminated array. Notice that, the a \\ within a quoted range, is not for commentary. The quote will replace that. i.e: They are not double.

\r! fixStArt
\r! fixStArt.htm
   \'\\* form@fix::StArtHere   \\-f.'
   \'\0'
//Frame this, where wanted, with a	  \F@ fixStArt

return to the file-work-area

The active Arz-extent - modifiable by \Ae - is telling form@fix, the range to write to the output file. We won't write the run-time-only area to the output file.

\r! form@fix@RunTime_Max

\a 0
\*= 0xe9  \r! form@fix::StArtHere  \*=. 0
