Hackplement BOP_CMD function 0x08: "Launch external command". Still WIP.
Explanation: Launching a command from command.com starts (under certain conditions not implemented there) "cmd.exe /c <the_command>"

subsection "CMD.EXE and COMMAND.COM":
"Be aware that a command shell is not an MS-DOS command prompt, even though it shares the same icon.
The Windows NT command shell is a full 32-bit Windows NT console application that resides in the CMD.EXE executable file.
The MS-DOS command prompt is a 16-bit DOS application that resides in the COMMAND.COM executable file.
Because COMMAND.COM is a 16-bit DOS executable, Windows NT executes this shell within a Windows NT virtual DOS machine (VDM).
COMMAND.COM is supplied primarily for compatibility with MS-DOS.
[...]
This behavior reveals a quite subtle feature of Windows NT that is very important. The 16-bit MS-DOS shell (COMMAND.COM)
that ships with Windows NT is specially designed for Windows NT. When a command is entered for execution by this shell,
it does not actually execute it. Instead, it packages the command text and sends it to a 32-bit CMD.EXE command shell for
execution. Because all commands are actually executed by CMD.EXE (the Windows NT command shell), the 16-bit shell inherits
all the features and facilities of the full Windows NT shell."

- As already done for interrupts and I/O ports, add a registering system for BOPs.
- INT32: Move ControlBop to the 32-bit interrupts module where it is used only.
- DOS: Add (un)documented BOP_DOS (0x50) and BOP_CMD(0x54) used respectively by NTIO.SYS/NTDOS.SYS and by COMMAND.COM.
It appears that they take an extra parameter (so, skip 1 byte-instruction after the BOP instruction as we do for the Control BOP 0xFF).
See "Undocumented DOS 2nd edition" by Schulman et al., page 267.

Fix the file reading subfunction (AH = 3Fh) of INT 21h.
When reading from the console, it always stops on a carriage return.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=61256
- Move some PS/2 initialization from bios.c to ps2.c
- NULLify interrupt entries which are in fact pointers to data tables.
- Add a framework for adding I/O port handlers.

Finish my Interruption revamp.
- Move interrupt-related code from bop.c to int32.c
- Introduce InitializeInt32 helper so that one can initialize all the needed 16-bit stubs for the 32-bit interrupts.
- Remove unneeded defines in emulator.h and an exported variable in ntvdm.h.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60908
Start my work on modularizing registration of "32-bit" interrupts, i.e.
interrupts that are implemented in 32-bit mode, but are stubbed with 16-bit
code (so that 16-bit apps can call them).
The 16-bit stub code uses a BOP call to our Control BOP function (BOP 0xFF) which
can handle in theory many sub-functions (as the BOP 0x58 documented here: http://www.ragestorm.net/tutorial?id=27)
specified as an additional BYTE in the call:
0xC4 0xC4 bop_code <optional_bop_subfunction>
Here, for calling 32-bit interrupts we use our BOP 0xFF, subfunction 0xFF.
The final aim would be to generate the 16-bit stub code when one calls the RegisterInt32 helper function
(contrary to what's happening now, that is, the 16-bit stub code is generated for all of the interrupts
at BIOS initialization time, and we use it for BIOS and DOS interrupts).

- BIOS: Implement INT 12h (BiosGetMemorySize)
- BOP/DOS: Add some DPRINTs for INT 25h, 2Fh and for unimplemented functions of INT 21h. It's for helping in testing 4DOS.COM
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60889
- The DosErrorLevel is stored as a WORD: its LOWORD is the return code and the HIWORD is the termination code.
- When copying CurrentDirectories[...], be sure that we copy maximum DOS_DIR_LENGTH chars.
- Implement (or stubplement) bunch of INT 21h functions: 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x0C, 0x0D, 0x26, 0x37, 0x47, 0x4D and 0x50. Functions 0x18, 0x1D, 0x1E and 0x20 are NULL functions present in DOS for CP/M compatibility only.
- Fix DOS version querying.
- Use set/getAX() instead of EmulatorSet/GetRegister, and use setCF instead of EmulatorSetFlag.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60790
- DOS: the DOS file attributes are one byte.
- BIOS: don't use hardcoded values; use the SEG_OFF_TO_PTR macro introduced earlier; use get/setAX instead of EmulatorGet/SetRegister.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60781
Remove the code that performs waiting in 32-bit mode since that blocks the emulator
and prevents interrupts from working.
Implement a 16-bit waiting system in the interrupt handlers.
Fix the PS/2 interrupt code.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60739
Do not rely on the internal format for console handles. Instead, use a more reliable way, by checking for success when calling a simple console function acting on in/out console handles.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=59746
Make the BIOS Data Area accessible to other parts of ntvdm.
Properly redirect read/write access to the console to the keyboard and VGA systems, respectively.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=59741
Keep a list of current directories for all drives.
Implement functions that change the default drive and current directory.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=59700
Use DOS_CMDLINE_LENGTH instead of MAX_PATH.
Fix bug in DosInitializePsp which allowed writing past the end of the Program Segment Prefix (PSP).
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=59693
- Use up to 256 parameters for programs (as suggested by the parsing while loop), but don't hardcode this values in many other places.
- The passed command line to ntvdm should be as long as MAX_PATH.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=59691
Modify the flags on the stack instead of the flags register directly.
The flags register is restored during IRET so changing it directly does nothing.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=59566
Add a compile-time option (not default) to run ntvdm manually with the target executable as a parameter.
Fix screen clearing bug.
Rewrite several INT 10h functions to work for all video pages.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=59497
Implement the IOCTL command in VDM DOS.
Rewrite the BIOS video pages support to use only one console buffer (not yet complete).
Fix the BIOS video mode table and several bugs in video functions.
