No that was not the problem :(.
The Stack configuration is ok? I'm not sure about the struct and the
order I must place the params. But the comments say how it should be.
param1 must be at bp[14] and must be a DWORD PTR.
param2 must be at bp[10] and must be a DWORD PTR.
param3 must be at bp[06] and must be a DWORD PTR.
param1 - 3 are allocated like this:
typedef struct MEM_INFO {
void *data;
int selector;
int segment;
unsigned long base;
int size;
};
#define BYTE2PARAGRAPH(a) ((a+15)>>4)
void myAlloc(MEM_INFO* mi)
{
mi->data = (void*)malloc(mi->size);
mi->segment = __dpmi_allocate_dos_memory(BYTE2PARAGRAPH(mi->size),
&mi->selector);
__dpmi_set_segment_base_address(mi->selector, mi->base);
__dpmi_set_segment_limit(mi->selector, mi->size);
memset(mi->data, 0, mi->size);
}
And I use the data as a pointer for my program and before the function
call I do three dosmemput(data, size, base); and the base part of the
three params are the unsigned long's I give to the RM function.
I would be glad for any help.
Ciao Ephraim
