MS-DOS Player for Win32-x64 console
								12/14/2024

----- What's This

This is MS-DOS emulator running on Win32-x64 command prompt.
16bit MS-DOS compatible commands can be executed on Win32-x64 envrionment.

This emulator inherits the environment variables from the host Windows,
and a target command can access the host's file path directly.

So you can execute 16bit MS-DOS compatible commands on your 64bit Windows
in the same sence as you did on 32bit Windows, and you do not need to copy
any files to/from a virtual machine (VMware, Virtual PC, XP mode, or others).

NOTE: This emulator DOES NOT support Win16 execution files.

This emulator aims to support character user interface utilities, for example
file converters, compilers, assemblers, debuggers, and text editors.

NOTE: This emulator DOES NOT support graphic/sound hardwares and DOES NOT
aim to support game software. I recommend DOSBOx for this purpose.


----- How To Use

Start a command prompt and run this emulator with a target command file
and any options.

For example, compile a sample.c with LSI C-86 and execute the compiled binary:

	> msdos lcc sample.c
	> msdos sample.exe

COMMAND.COM is needed to execute a batch file.

	> msdos vz.bat readme.doc

In this case, "COMMAND.COM /C vz.bat readme.doc" will be executed.


----- Options

Usage:

MSDOS [-b] [-c[(new exec file)] [-p[P]]] [-d] [-e] [-i] [-m] [-n[L[,C]]]
      [-s[P1[,P2[,P3[,P4]]]]] [-sd] [-sc] [-vX.XX] [-wX.XX] [-x] [-a] [-l] [-h]
      (command) [options]

	-b	stay busy during keyboard polling
	-c	convert command file to 32bit or 64bit execution file
	-p	record current code page when convert command file
	-d	pretend running under straight DOS, not Windows
	-e	use a reduced environment block
	-i	ignore invalid instructions
	-m	restrict free memory to 0x7FFF paragraphs
	-n	create a new buffer (25 lines, 80 columns by default)
	-s	enable serial I/O and set host's COM port numbers
	-sd	enable DTR/DSR flow control
	-sc	enable RTS/CTS flow control
	-v	set the DOS version
	-w	set the Windows version
	-x	enable XMS and LIM EMS
	-a	disable ANSI.SYS
	-l	draw box lines with ank characters
	-h	allow making cursor invisible

ISH.COM contains any invalid instructions and it cause an error.
Please specify the option '-i' to ignore the invalid instructions.

	> msdos -i ish.com

EDIT.COM does not work correctly when a free memory space is large.
Please specify the option '-m' to restrict free memory to 0x7FFF paragraphs.

	> msdos -m edit.com

"Windows Enhanced Mode Installation Check" API (INT 2FH, AX=1600H) and
"Identify Windows Version and Type" API (INT 2FH, AX=160AH) return the Windows
version number 4.10.
If you want to change the version number, please specify the option '-wX.XX'.

	> msdos -w3.10 command.com

Or if you want to pretend that Windows is not running, specify the option '-d'.

	> msdos -d command.com

"Get Version Number" API (INT 21H, AH=30H) returns the version number 7.10.
If you want to change the version number, please specify the option '-vX.XX'.

	> msdos -v3.30 command.com

If '-vX.XX' option is missing and you start COMMAND.COM, MS-DOS Player tries
to get DOS version from COMMAND.COM of MS-DOS, PC-DOS, or Windows 95/98/Me.

NOTE: "Get True Version Number" API (INT 21H, AX=3306H) always returns
the version number 7.10 and '-v' option is not affected.

NOTE: the Windows version 4.10 and the DOS version 7.10 are same as Windows 98,

To enable XMS (i286 or later) and LIM EMS, please specify the option '-x'.
In this time, the memory space 0C0000H-0CFFFFH are used for EMS page frame,
so the size of UMB is decreased from 224KB to 160KB.

To enable the serial I/O, please specify the option '-s[P1[,P2[,P3[,P4]]]]'.
If you specify '-s', the virtual COM1-COM4 are connected to the host's COM
ports found by SetupDiGetClassDevs() API.
You can specify the host's COM port numbers connected to the virtual COM ports
by adding numbers to '-s' option, for example '-s3,4,1,2'.

If you specify '-sd', DTR/DSR flow control is enabled.
In this time, MS-DOS Player sets/gets DTR and DSR pins of the host's COM port.
Otherwise, virtual DTR pin is internally connected to virtual DSR pin, and
DTR pin of the host's COM port is always active.

If you specify '-sc', RTS/CTS flow control is enabled.
In this time, MS-DOS Player sets/gets RTS and CTS pins of the host's COM port.
Otherwise, virtual RTS pin is internally connected to virtual CTS pin, and
RTS pin of the host's COM port is always active.

NOTE: The maximum baud rate is limited to 9600bps.


----- Environment Variable Table

Basically, the environment variable table on the host Windows is copied to
the table on the virtual machine (hereinafter, referred to as "virtual table"),
and in this time, APPEND/MSDOS_PATH/PATH/TEMP/TMP values are converted to
short path.

Some software (for example DoDiary Version 1.55) expect that the environment
variable table should be less than 1024 bytes.
On the Windows OS, there are too many variables and the environment variable
table size will be more than 1024 bytes and it causes an error.

In this case, please specify the option '-e' and only the minimum environment
variables (APPEND/COMSPEC/LASTDRIVE/MSDOS_PATH/PATH/PROMPT/TEMP/TMP/TZ) are
copied to the virtual table.

	> msdos -e dd.com

The environment variable COMSPEC is not copied from the host Windows, and its
value on the virtual table is always "C:\COMMAND.COM".

If a program tries to open the "C:\COMMAND.COM" file, the file is redirected
to the path in the environment variable MSDOS_COMSPEC on the host Windows.
If MSDOS_COMSPEC is not defined, it is redirected to the COMMAND.COM file that
does exist:

- in the same directory as the target program file,
- in the same directory as the running msdos.exe,
- in the current directory,
- in the directory that is in MSDOS_PATH and PATH environment variables

You may have a directory that contains 16bit command files, and you may want
not to add this path to PATH on the host Windows but want to add it to PATH
on the virtual table.

In this case, please define MSDOS_PATH on the host Windows, and its value is
copied to the top of PATH on the virtual table.
In other words, the value of PATH on the virtual table is MSDOS_PATH;PATH
on the host Windows, so a program searches files in directories in MSDOS_PATH
before files in directories in PATH.

You can also define MSDOS_APPEND on the host Windows, and its value is copied
to the top of APPEND on the virtual table.

The environment variables TEMP and TMP on the host Windows may be very long,
in usually, it is "C:\User\(Your User Name)\AppData\Local\Temp".
DOSSHELL.EXE tries to create a batch file in the TEMP directry to start
the selected program, and it may not work correctly because of the too long
batch file path.
In this case, please define MSDOS_TEMP on the host Windows, for example
"C:\TEMP", and its value is copied to TEMP and TMP on the virtual table.

If the environment variable MSDOS_LASTDRIVE is defined on the host Windows,
its value is copied to LASTDRIVE on the virtual table.
If both MSDOS_LASTDRIVE and LASTDRIVE are not defined on the host Windows,
LASTDRIVE=Z is automatically defined on the virtual table.

If the environment variable PROMPT is not defined on the host Windows,
PROMPT=$P$G is automatically defined on the virtual table.

If the environment variable MSDOS_TZ is defined on the host Windows,
its value is copied to TZ on the virtual table.
If both MSDOS_TZ and TZ are not defined on the host Windows,
and if your timezone is in the following table, TZ is automatically defined
on the virtual table, for example TZ=JST-9 in Japan.

NOTE: MSDOS_(APPEND/COMSPEC/LASTDRIVE/TEMP/TZ) are not copied to the virtual
table, but MSDOS_PATH is copied to, because some software may refer it.


----- Recommended Configurations

Create C:\DOS and C:\TEMP folders.
Copy COMMAND.COM (I recommend the Windows 98's COMMAND.COM Version 7.10) and
other DOS command files (ex. MORE.COM) into C:\DOS folder.

Set the environment variables listed below on the host Windows:

MSDOS_COMSPEC = C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM
MSDOS_PATH = C:\DOS
MSDOS_TEMP = C:\TEMP


----- Convert Command File To 32bit Or 64bit Execution File

You can convert a 16bit command file to a single 32bit or 64bit execution file
by embeding a command file to the msdos.exe.

For exmaple, you can convert LIST.COM by this command:

	> msdos -cLIST32.EXE LIST.COM

and you can simply run LIST32.EXE without msdos.exe.

NOTE: Please specify a target command file with its extension, and specify
a new execution file name other than "msdos.exe". If a new execution file name
is not specified (only "-c" is specified), it is "new_exec_file.exe".

Other options' value are also stored to a new execution file, for example:

	> msdos -cCOMMAND32.EXE -v6.22 -x COMMAND.COM

When you run COMMAND32.EXE, it starts COMMAND.COM with the version 6.22 and
XMS/EMS option enabled.

The active code page can be also stored with '-p' option, for example:

	> msdos -cSW1US32.EXE -p437 -s SW1US.EXE

	> chcp 437
	> msdos -cSW1US32.EXE -p -s SW1US.EXE

When you run SW1US32.EXE, it starts SW1US.EXE with the code page 437 and
serial I/O option enabled.

At the execution time, an embedded command file will be extracted with
the original command file name in the current directory.
But if the original command file exists, it will be extracted with
the temporary command file name not to overwrite the original command file.
The extracted command file will be removed when the execution is finished.


----- Binaries

This archive contains 12 executable binaries:

	i86_x86 	Emulates 8086 and supports both 32bit/64bit Windows
	i86_x64 	Emulates 8086 and supports only 64bit Windows
	i286_x86	Emulates 80286 and supports both 32bit/64bit Windows
	i286_x64	Emulates 80286 and supports only 64bit Windows
	i386_x86	Emulates 80386 and supports both 32bit/64bit Windows
	i386_x64	Emulates 80386 and supports only 64bit Windows
	i486_x86	Emulates 80486 and supports both 32bit/64bit Windows
	i486_x64	Emulates 80486 and supports only 64bit Window
	pentium4_x86	Emulates Pentium4 and supports both 32bit/64bit Windows
	pentium4_x64	Emulates Pentium4 and supports only 64bit Window
	v30_x86 	Emulates NEC V30 and supports both 32bit/64bit Windows
	v30_x64 	Emulates NEC V30 and supports only 64bit Windows
	ia32_x86	Emulates IA32 and supports both 32bit/64bit Windows
	ia32_x64	Emulates IA32 and supports only 64bit Windows

8086 binaries are much faster than 80286/80386/80486/Pentium4/IA32 binaries.
If you don't need the protected mode or new mnemonics added after 80286,
I recommend i86_x86 or i86_x64 binary.

NEC V30 binaries support 8080 emulation mode.
If you try CP/M-80 emulator using 8080 emulation mode, use these binaries.

IA32 binaries include Neko Project 21/W i386c core and support FPU/MMX/SSE/2/3.
These binaries will emulate the protected mode more correctly.

VC++ project files msdos.dsp/vcproj/vcxproj also contains the configurations
for 80186, Pentium/PRO/MMX/2/3, and Cyrix MediaGX.
You can build all binaries for several cpu models by running build6/9/15.bat.
(VC++ 6.0 with SP6. VC++ 2008 with SP1, or VC++ 2017 are required)


----- Internal Debugger

MS-DOS Player contains the internal debugger for developers, but it is
disabled on the binaries in the archive.
To enable the internal debugger, please remove the comment out of definition
"//#define USE_DEBUGGER" in common.h and build the binary.

MS-DOS Player opens the telnet port.
The port number is 23 in default, but if it is already used, 9000 or later.
When you start your telnet client and connect to MS-DOS Player,
the virtual cpu is suspended and you can start the debugger.

If you see the messsage "waiting until cpu is suspended...",
the internal DOS service is running, for example waiting your key inputs.
The virtual cpu will be suspended when exit the internal DOS service,
and you can start the debugger.

If Tera Term PRO, PuTTY, or Windows telnet client (telnet.exe) is installed,
it is automatically started and connected to MS-DOS Player.
When you use Tera Term PRO or PuTTY, I recommend to disable "Line at Time"
and enable "Character at Time".

NOTE: When you run 32bit version of MS-DOS Player on Windows x64,
MS-DOS Player will try to start 32bit version of telnet.exe in SysWOW64,
but it is not usually installed.

Please enter ? command to show the debugger commands.
They are very similar to DEBUG command, and some break point functions
(break at memory access (*), I/O port access, and interrupt) are added.

(*) break does not occur when DOS service/BIOS emulation codes access.


----- Supported Hardwares

This emulator provides a very simple IBM PC-like hardware emulation:

CPU 8086/286/386/486/Pentium4, RAM 1MB/16MB/32MB, LIM EMS 32MB (Hardware EMS),
PC BIOS, DMA Controller (dummy), Interrupt Controller, System Timer,
Parallel I/O (LPT1-3), Serial I/O (COM1-4), Real Time Clock + CMOS Memory,
MDA/CGA CRTC + Status Register, Keyboard Controller (A20 Line Mask, CPU Reset),
and 2-Button Mouse

NOTE:
- Graphic/Sound hardwares are NOT implemented.
- DMA Controller is implemented, but FDC and HDC are not connected.
- Parallel I/O is implemented and the output data is written to the file
  "Year-Month-Day_Hour-Minute-Second.PRN" created in the TEMP directory.
- Serial I/O is implemented and can be connected to the host's COM ports.

----- INT 29H Limitations

When INT 21H/2FH service outputs a character to console, INT 29H service
(DOS Fast Character I/O) is called.

If INT 21H/2FH service that outputs a character to console is called again
in INT 29H handler, INT 29H is not called again to prevent an infinite loop.

In usual, the virtual CPU is running while waiting inputs from console in
INT 21H, AH=01H/0AH/3FH service and a timer interrupt can be raised.
If INT 29H handler is hooked by your software, the virtual CPU is suspended
while waiting inputs from console, and a timer interrupt never be raised.


----- Win32/64 Child Process

When we run a Win32/64 program on usual MS-DOS environment, we will see
an error message "This program cannot be run in DOS mode."

When a Win32/64 program file is called by INT 21H, AX=4B00H, INT 2EH, or
INT 2FH, AX=AE01H services, for example the case we run it on COMMAND.COM,
it is executed as a Win32/64 child process by Win32 system() API and
waits until the child process is terminated.
In this time, any characters output to the console by this Win32/64 child
process is not hooked by INT 29H service.

When you run a Win32/64 program with pipe, it may not work as you expect.
For example, you may run Win32/64 version of more.com with pipe as follows:

> msdos command.com
> type foo.txt | more (more.com is Win32/64 program in C:\Windows\System32)

MS-DOS Player starts more.com as a Win32/64 child process and will wait until
the child process is terminated.
While waiting until the child process is terminated, the virtual CPU is
suspended and outputs of "type foo.txt" never be sent to the child process.


----- Starting COMMAND.COM / C As Child Process

Parent process may try to start "COMMAND.COM /C (program)" as child process,
but COMMAND.COM may be missing.

If the program is COM or EXE execution file and COMMAND.COM is missing,
specified program is started directly.

If the program is DOS internal command A-Z:/CHDIR/PATH/SET, it will be
executed by MS-DOS Player internal routine.
This is because changing current drive/directory or environment variables
in the child COMMAND.COM process does not affect to the parent process.

If the program is DOS internal command TYPE/TRUENAME/VER and COMMAND.COM is
missing, it will be executed by MS-DOS Player internal routine.
This is because we want to display contents of text files thru INT 29h,
and want to display short full path name, and MS-DOS version.
And in the first place, TRUENAME is not supported on cmd.exe of Windows NT.

If the program is other DOS internal command and COMMAND.COM is missing,
it will be executed by Win32 system() API.
In this case, outputting characters to console is not thru INT 29h.

Otherwise, COMMAND.COM will be started as child process.

NOTE: In the case COMMAND.COM is not started, pipe connection does not work.
