It may be two bytes, but all it does is raise an exception. That's not "grabbing a file from the internet and executing it".
I think it does actually get executed. That was the only spec. Not that it does anything useful...
OTOH, what does "NTVDM does not support a ROM BASIC" mean? Sounds interesting...
The program is just INT 18 http://lrs.uni-passau.de/support/doc/interrupt-57/RB-2177.HTM and there's no reason for a virtual ROM BASIC, so it's not there. Try that program on a 386 under OS/2 2.0 and the BIOS reports "NO ROM BASIC" in big block letters (in a window) which is what you saw if you did not have a boot device. Usually that is - many systems behaved this way back then. I never tried it on a machine with rom basic, which I think only the IBM PC and XT had. I wrote a 6 (iirc) byte program that under OS/2 would open a window with the BIOS setup running in it. Can't find it atm. _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
