Detecting Applications

NTDEV
1

I need to make a device driver that treat the messages of a specific
application. But this application run in a MS-DOS box. So, if I pick the
process id, it will be the NTDVM.exe, instead the application. How can I
detect the specific application running under MS-DOS?

Parse the DOS’s memory block chain inside the NTVDM’s address space.

Take a look at the “Virtual DOS Machine Debug API.” (VDMDBG.H in your include directory)

It may have the functionality you are looking for.
