BP compatibility: Dos

The following listing contains the interface of the Dos unit.

This is a portable implementation of most routines from BP's Dos unit. A few routines that are Dos - or even IA32 real mode - specific, are only available if __BP_UNPORTABLE_ROUTINES__ is defined, BP Incompatibilities.

The same functionality and much more is available in the Run Time System, Run Time System. In some cases, the RTS routines have the same interface as the routines in this unit (e.g. GetEnv, FSplit, FExpand, FSearch), in other cases, they have different names and/or easier and less limiting interfaces (e.g. ReadDir etc. vs. FindFirst etc.), and are often more efficient.

Therefore, using this unit is not recommended in newly written programs.

{ Portable BP compatible Dos unit

  This unit supports most of the routines and declarations of BP's
  Dos unit.

  Notes:

  - The procedures Keep, GetIntVec, SetIntVec are not supported
    since they make only sense for Dos real-mode programs (and GPC
    compiled programs do not run in real-mode, even on IA32 under
    Dos). The procedures Intr and MsDos are only supported under
    DJGPP if __BP_UNPORTABLE_ROUTINES__ is defined (with the
    -D__BP_UNPORTABLE_ROUTINES__ option). A few other routines are
    also only supported with this define, but on all platforms (but
    they are crude hacks, that's why they are not supported without
    this define).

  - The internal structure of file variables (FileRec and TextRec)
    is different in GPC. However, as far as TFDDs are concerned,
    there are other ways to achieve the same in GPC, see the GPC
    unit.
