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>"
See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.win2000.cmdprompt.admin/n5KbegKJuE0

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."

- Halfplement and export VdmMapFlat
- Make mention of the existence of VdmFlushCache and VdmUnmapFlat, which are not exported in x86 builds (macros are therefore defined to just return TRUE) but are exported in MIPS... builds...
See VDDSVC.H and NT_VDD.H in the DDK
(those headers don't exist in ROS; we'll have to create them later on).

Studying the "vddtest" example mentioned in revision 61283 allowed me to see that valid VDD DLL "handles" start at 1 and cannot be equal to zero.
Add helper macros to convert from indices to handles. Fixes "vddtest" example.
Have fun at running it :)

- Thanks Thomas for having pointed me towards the fact that the NTVDM exports were really STDCALL and not CDECL (as I've thought first, because originally I was checking whether the getXX() functions were stdcall or not, and distinguishing VOID stdcall or cdecl functions without the symbols was hopeless).
- Halfplement and export Sim32pGetVDMPointer and MGetVdmPointer, needed to run correctly the RageStorm "galaxy" sample mentioned yesterday (see revision 61283). Now it loads and the dispatch call works \o/
- VDD_INIT_PROC and VDD_DISPATCH_PROC have the same signature --> rename them to VDD_PROC.
Have fun at testing!

Implement basic VDD support:
implement the (un)register & dispatch call BOP (called BOP_3RDPARTY): see "Undocumented DOS" by Schulman et al. page 267 (as always ;) ), as well as:
http://www.ragestorm.net/tutorial?id=27 - "Tutorial - Calling Win32 from DOS"
http://www.airborn.com.au/layout/vddtest.html - "DOS to 32 bit DLL under XP - an example" (almost the same explanations as the previous article)
http://sta.c64.org/blog/dosvddaccess.html - "Accessing Windows device drivers from DOS programs"
and...
... your lovely Win2k / Win2k3 DDK section: "Device Technologies/Other Devices/Devices Requiring VDDs" !!
Ready to test? :D

- 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.

- Add/fix few comments;
- Don't forget to redisable access to AC registers after modifying them in int 10h. Usurp, please retest Rescue Rover 2 :)
- Make EmulatorGet/Set/ClearFlag internal functions only and use set/get<FLAG> instead.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=61263
Fix the file reading subfunction (AH = 3Fh) of INT 21h.
When reading from the console, it always stops on a carriage return.

Rewrite the VGA emulation.
Nah, it's a joke!
- Store VGA registers setup in VGA_REGISTERS structure.
- Improve BiosSetVideoMode and introduce a VgaSetRegisters function for setting VGA regs.
- Initialize Bda->CrtBasePort: it is used to determine the address of some I/O ports which depend on whether we are in color or monochrome mode.
- Add UnregisterIoPort in io.c (and fix some DPRINTs) (needed for VGA).
- When setting the misc. VGA register, check whether we're going to monochrome emulation, and reset some port addresses in that case.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=61246
- Last race condition fix (see revision 61230).
- Add a comment why we do twice the same emptiness check (one before holding the mutex and one just after).
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=61239
- Remove some DPRINTs.
- Fix a bug in VgaEnterGraphicsMode (erroneous change of the real saved resolution when going into DoubleVision(TM) mode).
- Do not update the text cursor when being in graphics mode (otherwise I've already hit some ScanlineSize==0 problems) <-- [TheFlash], can you recheck that, please?
- Little optimisation: do not do anything in VgaRefreshDisplay if nothing has to be done.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=61157
- 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.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=61107
The 486 doesn't have AC, VIF, VIP or ID.
Fix and simplify POPF.
[NTVDM]
Fix the count in the XMS copy function (INT 15h, AH = 87h).
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=61082
- Get rid of EmulatorGetRegister and EmulatorSetRegister and replace their calls with the proper definitions.
- Get rid of the enums EMULATOR_REG_* and use the FAST486_REG_* definitions instead.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=61034
- Implement and export getEFLAGS and setEFLAGS.
- Do some code reorganization (move all registers-related functions into "registers.c").
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=61033
Give the virtual machine 16 MB of memory, for DOS extenders,
protected mode programs, etc...
EMS is still not implemented.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60937
To make debugging easier, put the interrupt handlers at offset 0x1000,
and reserve 16 bytes for each. Also, move the common stub to offset
0x2000. That way the entry point of, for example, INT 0x21 is at
F000:1210.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60933
Modularize linear memory access by adding two new functions:
Fast486ReadLinearMemory and Fast486WriteLinearMemory.
Implement Fast486GetPageTableEntry.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60923
Instead of reassembling each time the very same common stub code for each interrupt, do it once, and then assemble just a little part for each interrupt and jump to the common stub.
Now the 4DOS Ctrl-C exception bug changes, but I have an idea what's happening in there...
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60917
- BIOS: Reorganize a bit the header, and close the input thread before closing the input handle (and not after).
- INT32: Fix a comment.
- CMOS: Put CMOS data into a structure called CMOS_MEMORY, introduce READ/WRITE_CMOS_DATA macros for simplifying code. Save CMOS memory into a file (à la Windows' NTVDM), which is loaded at startup.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60913
Don't enable interrupts unless it's necessary in the interrupt handler.
[FAST486]
When handling interrupt signals, make sure at least one instruction is executed,
to prevent the CPU from being completely blocked by interrupt signals.
svn path=/branches/ntvdm/; revision=60910
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.
