DUAL BOUND EXECUTABLE BY ROSE SWE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This program was compiled as a dual bound executable for DOS 16 and Windows 32 bit. The program checks if it runs under Win32 (Win9x, NT, ME, 2000) or DOS/Win3.x and executes the applicable part. The program will not work under WinNT 3.5x and Win 3.11/Win32, you must use under this old OS the DOS16 part! The windows executable format contains two entry points, one pointing to the actual window program (Win32) and one pointing to a DOS program. In most cases the DOS entry point refers to a short procedure (stub) that outputs a short message like "This program must be run under Win32" and exits. A dual bound executable doesn´t contain a stub, instead the DOS 16 bit program version. Please note that the term "Dual Bound Executable" comes from dual linked files for DOS and OS/2. If you want to execute the DOS part under Windows I suggest to download the EXEC utility from Martin Korth. Homepage: http://www.work.de/nocash/ Requirements: Depending on the used executable you must satisfy the following minimum requirements: DOS16 - MS-DOS 5.0 or better (or compatible DOS version), 550 KB free memory, 80286+Co-Processor or better DOS32/DPMI - MS-DOS 5.0, 80386 or better, Co-Processor (387 or better), 4 MB memory Win32 - Win32 (Win9x,NT,2000), 80386/80387 or better, 8 MB memory Linux - 80386+80387 or better, 4 MB memory All 32 bit programs are optimized for Pentium MMX and better CPUs. They still run on 80486 and 80386 CPU. All "Dual Bound Executable" are normally portable to other platforms. I you have the need you can request native executables for this platforms: - DOS16 - DOS32 (DPMI, 5-6 extenders) - Win32 - Linux - OS/2 - Warp Regards, Ralph Roth, ROSE SWE http://www.mp3.com/rose_swe http://come.to/rose_swe http://come.to/cfg2html
