NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE
This compilation is (c) Copyright 1989, 1990 Ralf Brown
Permission is granted to use and redistribute the files comprising the
interrupt listing in any way, provided my name and addresses and the names of
all contributers are preserved, as well as the information on how to obtain
new releases.
Please send corrections/additions to me rather than distributing a modified
version of the list, so that all may benefit from your contribution.
This version of the list reverts to the public domain one year after the
date of its release, with the sincere hope that the credits and availability
information are retained.
---------------------------------------------
The newest release of the full interrupt list list is available in the
following places (please do not ask me to email it, it is just too large
for that):
On the ARPAnet, by standard anonymous FTP from CS.CMU.EDU [128.2.222.173].
Change directly to directory /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/ralf/pub and get the
file interrup.zip which is a link to the current version. You MUST
change directory first because of the way CMU's anonymous FTP works.
Don't forget to set mode "binary" or "type L 8"! ZIP unarchivers for
MSDOS and BSD Unix are available in the "archivers" subdirectory.
On FIDOnet, from Doctor's Inn BBS 1:129/53 1-412-881-7757 1200/2400/9600 HST
as file INTERnyy.ZIP, where nyy stands for release 'n' of year 'yy',
in file area #4. First-time callers may download. File Requests.
2400 bps callers should try 1:129/81 1-412-881-1749 (same computer,
different modem) first.
The list is also posted to USEnet in comp.binaries.ibm.pc about three times per
year, concurrent with a new release of the list. Since comp.binaries.ibm.pc is
archived, you will be able to find a fairly recent release in the various UUCP
archives.
Secondary Distribution Points (the list will be available here within a day or
so of release):
ARPA: on WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL [26.2.0.74] as file INTERnyy.ZIP in directory
PD1:, where nyy stands for release n of year yy. Note
that you must use mode "tenex" or "type L 8" to successfully FTP the
file.

What they're saying about the interrupt list:
"A cornucopia of descriptions of interrupt and function calls on the
IBM PC. A great thing to have on your hard disk if you don't have
a Ray Duncan or Peter Norton book handy."
_Turbo_Technix_, July/August 1988, p. 157.
[and that was about the 1/30/88 version, which is less than one-fifth the size
of the current version....]
---------------------------------------------
If you know of any information not in the list, or which is stated incorrectly,
please let me know! This list would be a pale shadow of its current self if it
weren't for everybody's input.
Software developers are encouraged to check the list before assigning
interrupts, and to provide me with a list of interrupt calls used (to help
prevent future interrupt conflicts).
