annotate TOOLS/bios2dump.c @ 15721:eec6ace22741

small change to field-matching metrics which hopefully makes a big improvement to results. inter-field comparison is now counterbalanced with intra-field total (vertical) variation. this means that areas of extreme high frequency content, which become aliased within individual fields, will not interfere with field matching. examples: white noise effects, small kanji, very small latin text, ... may still need tweaking. please report regressions. this change will likely be made optional in the future (right now it's enclosed in "if (1)"...

/*
    bios2dump.c - Was designed to extract BIOS of your PC and save it to file.
    Usage: as argument requires DOS interrupt number in hexadecimal form.
    as output - will write 64KB file which will named: SSSS_OOOO.intXX
    where: SSSS - segment of BIOS interrupt handler
           OOOO - offset of BIOS interrupt handler
	   XX   - interrupt number which was passed as argument
