        Here is a Unit that I've created to trap Int 29h. the Function of this
Unit is to trap the output that Dos spits through the Int 29h (such as XCopy,
PkZip, etc) and redirect it into a predefined Window.
        Here is the stuff:
}

Unit I29UnitA;

{ This Unit will trap Dos output which use Int 29h. Any other
  method of writing the scren, such as Direct Write which bypasses
  Int 29h call, will not be trapped. }

Interface

{ Initialize the view that will be use to output the Dos output.
  Will also draw basic Window frame. }
Procedure InitView(XX1, XY1, XX2, XY2 : Byte);
{ Clear the pre-defined view. }
Procedure ClearView;
{ Procedure to redirect the Turbo Pascal Write and WriteLn Procedure.
  (standard OutPut only).
  Do not call this Procedure twice in the row.
  More than once call to this Procedure will result Pascal's standard
  output Procedure will not be restored properly. }
Procedure TrapWrite;
{ Restore Pascal's Write and WriteLn Procedure into its original
  condition that was altered With TRAPWrite. (standard OutPut only). }
Procedure UnTrapWrite;

{
Both the testing Program and the Unit itself (expecially the Unit), is by no
mean perfect. Use With caution. It might not wise to use such redirector
(my int 29 Unit) in a Program that swaps itself out of memory. The above
Programs were not optimized in anyway (so it might slow your Program a
little). And I don't guarantee that this Program will work on your computer
(it work Without a problem on mine). if you like this Unit, you can use it
anyway you desire. Just remember I can guarantee nothing For this method.
