SHELL 1.3 shrinks to 368 bytes, then spawns a child, then restores itself. This program has no practical use, as is. It is just an EXEC teaching example. It also acts as a skeleton you can cannibalize to create your own real-life programs. This program has the following advantages over others of its kind in that: 1. it includes full OPTASM/MASM source. 2. It is stripped to minimal features for ease of understanding. 3. It is heavily commented. 4. This version swaps to disk, but it could be trivially be modified to swap to EMS, XMS etc. 5. The stub is small -- and may be configured even smaller. This program is copyrighted but may be used freely for any purpose except military. Version 1.3 just displays the new address and phone number. You might also be interested in a simplified version of this program called SPAWN. SPAWN stays resident where SHELL rolls itself out to disk before spawinng.
