This, however, may be a misinterpretation because of * lack of understanding. * * The supported structure consists of the following assumptions: * 1) The pkg must contain the tables 2 (Upcase character), 4 * (Upcase filename character) and 5 (filename termination * characters); because they are used internally. * 2) The tables 2 and 4 must contain exactly 128 (0x80) characters. * The character at index 0 corresponses to character 128 (0x80). * The characters in the range of 0..0x7f are constructed out of * the 7-bit US-ASCII (+ control characters) character set and are * upcased not through the table, but by the expression: * (ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z')? ch - 'a' + 'A': ch * with: 'a' == 97; 'z' == 122; 'A' == 65 * 3) The data to be returned by DOS-65 is enlisted in the * nlsPointer[] array of the nlsPackage structure, including * the DOS-65-01 data, which always must be last entry of the * array. * 4) DOS-38 returns the 34 bytes beginning with the byte at offset * 4 behind the size field of DOS-65-01. * * It seems that pure DOS can internally maintain two NLS pkgs: * NLS#1: The hardcoded pkg of U.S.A. on CP437, and * NLS#2: the pkg loaded via COUNTRY= from within CONFIG.SYS. * I do interprete this behaviour as follows: * CONFIG.SYS is read in more passes; before COUTRY= can be evaluated, * many actions must be performed, e.g. to load kernel at all, open * CONFIG.SYS and begin reading. The kernel requires at least two * NLS information _before_ COUNTRY= has been evaluated - both upcase * tables. To not implement the same function multiple times, e.g. * to upcase with and without table, the kernel uses the default * NLS pkg until a more appropriate one can be loaded and hopes that * the BIOS (and the user) can live with its outcome. * Though, theoretically, the hardcoded NLS pkg could be purged * or overwritten once the COUNTRY= statement has been evaluated. * It would be possible that this NLS pkg internally performs different * purposes, for now this behaviour will be kept. * * The current implementation extends the above "two maintained * NLS pkgs" into that the kernel chains all NLS pkgs loaded in * memory into one single linked list. When the user does neither * wants to load other NLS pkgs without executing NLSFUNC and the * loaded NLS pkgs do not contain code themselves, no other code is * required, but some memory to store the NLS pkgs into. * * Furthermore, because the kernel needs to include the code for the * hardcoded NLS pkg anyway, every NLS pkg can use it; so only * NLS pkgs that structurally differ from U.S.A./CP437 actually need * to add any code and residently install the MUX handler for NLSFUNC. * This technique reduces the overhead calling the MUX handler, when * it is not needed. * However, NLSFUNC is always required if the user wants to return * information about NLS pkgs _not_ loaded into memory. * *=== Attention: Because the nlsInfoBlock structure differs from the *=== the "traditional" (aka MS) implementation, the MUX-14 interface *=== is _not_ MS-compatible, although all the registers etc. *=== do conform. -- 2000/02/26 ska * * Previous failed attempts to implement NLS handling and a full- * featured MUX-14 supporting any-structured NLS pkgs suggest * to keep the implement as simple as possible and keep the * optimization direction off balance and to tend toward either * an optimization for speed or size. * * The most problem is that the MUX interrupt chain is considered * highly overcrowded, so if the kernels invokes it itself, the * performance might decrease dramatically; on the other side, the * more complex the interface between kernel and a _probably_ installed * external NLSFUNC becomes the more difficult all the stuff is becoming * and, most importantly, the size grows unnecessarily, because many * people don't use NLSFUNC at all. * * The kernel uses the NLS pkg itself for two operations: * 1) DOS-65-2x and DOS-65-Ax: Upcase character, string, memory area, & * 2) whenever a filename is passed into the kernel, its components * must be identified, invalid characters must be detected * and, finally, all letters must be uppercased. * I do not consider operation 1) an action critical for performance, * because traditional DOS programming praxis says: Do it Yourself; so * one can consider oneself lucky that a program aquires the upcase * table once in its life time (I mean: lucky the program calls NLS at all). * Operation 2), in opposite, might dramatically reduce performance, if * it lacks proper implementations. * * Straight forward implementation: * The basic implementation of the NLS channels all requests of DOS-65, * DOS-66, and DOS-38 through MUX-14. Hereby, any external program, such * as NLSFUNC, may (or may not) install a piece of code to filter * one, few, or all requests in order to perform them itself, by default * all requests will end within the root of the MUX interrupt, which is * located within the kernel itself. An access path could look like this: * 1. Call to DOS-65-XX, DOS-66-XX, or DOS-38. * 2. The kernel is enterred through the usual INT-21 API handler. * 3. The request is decoded and one of the NLS.C function is called. * 4. This function packs a new request and calls MUX-14. * 5. Every TSR/driver hooking INT-2F will check, if the request is * directed for itself; * 5.1. If not, the request is passed on to the next item of the MUX * interrupt chain; * 5.2. If so, the TSR, e.g. NLSFUNC, tests if the request is to be * performed internally; * 5.2.1. If so, the request is performed and the MUX-14 call is * terminated (goto step 8.) * 5.2.2. If not, the request is passed on (see step 5.1.) * 6. If all TSRs had their chance to filter requests, but none decided * to perform the request itself, the kernel is (re-)enterred * through its INT-2F (MUX) API handler. * 7. Here the request is decoded again and performed with the kernel- * internal code; then the MUX-14 call is terminated. * 8. When the MUX-14 call returns, it has setup all return parameters * already, so the INT-21 call is terminated as well. * * Note: The traditional MUX-14 is NOT supported to offer functionality * to the kernel at the first place, but to let the kernel access and * return any values they must be loaded into memory, but the user may * request information through the DOS-65 interface of NLS pkgs _not_ * already loaded. Theoretically, NLSFUNC needs not allocate any internal * buffer to load the data into, because the user already supplied one; * also if the kernel would instruct NLSFUNC to load the requested * NLS pkg, more memory than necessary would be allocated. However, all * except subfunction 1 return a _pointer_ to the data rather than the * data itself; that means that NLSFUNC must cache the requested data * somewhere, but how long? * * Performance tweaks: * When the system -- This word applies to the combination of kernel and * any loaded MUX-14 extension á la NLSFUNC here. -- uppercases * _filenames_, it must perform a DOS-65-A2 internally. In the basic * implementation this request would be channeled through MUX-14, even * if there is no external NLSFUNC at all. Also, when a NLS pkg had * been loaded by the kernel itself, it complies to above mentioned * rules and it is very unlikely that it is necessary to probe if * a MUX-14 TSR might want to perform the request itself. Therefore * each NLS pkg contains some flags that allow the kernel to bypass * the MUX-14 request and invoke the proper function directly. Both * default NLS pkgs will have those flags enabled, because they are * already loaded into memory and must comply to the rules. * * Note: Those flags do not alter the way the request is actually * performed, but the MUX-14 call is omitted only (steps 4. through 6.). * * ======= Description of the API * * There are three APIs to be supported by NLS: * 1) DOS API: DOS-38, DOS-65, DOS-66; * 2) MUX-14, and * 3) internal: upcasing filenames. * * 1) and 2) address the used NLS pkg by the country code / codepage pair. * 3) uses the currently active NLS pkg only; furthermore, these functions * more or less match DOS-64-A*. Therefore, the NLS system merges the * interfaces 1) and 3) and offers function suitable for both ones. * * Both 1) and 3) must channel the request through the MUX chain, if * appropriate, whereas 2) is the back-end and does natively process the * request totally on its own. * * The API of 1) and 3) consists of: * + DosUpChar(), DosUpString(), and DosUpMem(): to upcase an object * (DOS-65-2[0-2]); * + DosYesNo(): to check a character, if it is the yes or no prompt * (DOS-65-23); * + DosUpFChar(), DosUpFString(), and DosUpFMem(): to upcase an object * for filenames (DOS-65-A[0-2]); * + DosGetData(): to retreive certain information (DOS-38, all the * other DOS-65-** subfunctions); * + DosSetCountry(): to change the currently active country code * (DOS-38); * + DosSetCodepage(): to change the currently active codepage (DOS-66). * * The API of 2) consists of: * + syscall_MUX14(). * This function is invoked for all MUX-14 requests and recieves the * registers of the particular INT-2F call, it will then decode the * registers and pass the request forth to a NLS-internal interface * consisting of the following "static" functions: * + nlsUpMem(): called for DosUp*(), * + nlsUpFMem(): called for DosUpF*(), * + nlsYesNo(): called for DosYesNo(), * + nlsGetData(): called for DosGetData(),& * + nlsSetPackage(): called for DosSetCountry() and DosSetCodepage(). * In opposite of the APIs 1) through 3) the NLS-internal functions address * the NLS pkg to operate upon by a (struct nlsInfoBlock *) pointer. * * This designs supports to easily implement to bypass the MUX chain to * speed up especially the internal API to upcase filenames, because * the Dos*() functions can decide do not pass the request through MUX, * but directly call the nls*() function instead. This way it is ensured * that the performed actions are the same in both cases and, with repect * to the functions that operate with the currently active NLS pkg, the * performance is rather high, because one can use the globally available * pointer to the current NLS pkg and need not search for a country code/ * codepage pair. * * ======== Compile-time options * * Win9x supports to change the individual portions of a NLS pkg * through DOS-65-00; also there are no references what happens when * a program changes the areas addressed by returned pointers. The * current implementation does _not_ support changes of the NLS pkg * except by invoking DOS-38 (Set Country Code) or DOS-66 (Set Codepage). * Future implementations might offer this ability; to reduce the * overhead introduced by this feature, the macro NLS_MODIFYABLE_DATA * enables the appropriate code. * NLS_MODIFYABLE_DATA is *disabled* by default. * * The tables 2 and 4 (upcase tables) are accessed relatively often, * but theoretically these tables could be located at any position * of the pointer array. If the macro NLS_REORDER_POINTERS is enabled, * both NLSFUNC and the internal loader will reorder the pointers * array so that mandatory tables are located at predictable indexes. * This removes that the kernel must search for the table when * one of the DOS-65-[2A]x functions is called or a filename has been * passed in (which must be uppercased to be suitable for internal * purpose). However, when some program try to tweak the internal * tables this assumption could be wrong. * This setting has any effect only, if the kernel tries to access * information itself; it is ignored when the user calls DOS-65-0x * to return such pointer. * NLS_REORDER_POINTERS is *enabled* by default. */ /* Define if some user program possibly modifies the value of the internal tables or the DOS-65-00 (Set Country Information) API function is to be supported. */ /* Currently unimplemented! -- 2000/02/13 ska*/ /* #define NLS_MODIFYABLE_DATA */ /* Define if the pointer array shall be reordered to allow a quick access to often used and mandatoryly present tables. */ #define NLS_REORDER_POINTERS /* * How the kernel and NLSFUNC communicate with each other */ /* Must be returned by NLSFUNC upon MUX-14-00 */ #define NLS_FREEDOS_NLSFUNC_ID 0x534b /* Represents a call to DOS-38 within DOS-65 handlers.
