Dual-mode isr question

Hello,
        I'm trying to use a dual-mode isr for data acquisition under
windows as per Roy Furman's series of articles appearing in Personal
Engineering and Instrumentation News. 

One major component of the technique that I don't grasp is the method
by which my program can access the data acquired by the isr. Under DOS
one can use expressions directly involving variables declared in an
application (typically one of the functions of my data-acq DOS
applications would be to take care of installing any special isrs).

However, I didn't notice any explanation of how to get data from a
[buffer maintained by] dual-mode isr. He seemed to assume that it
would be used in the context of a DOS device driver (a topic about
which I know little), but I don't want to bother with a device driver
- I just want to provide the data to my program directly from the isr.

Is there a reliable way to do this? Does anyone have any experience
regarding Furman's routines, or other approaches? 


Thanks,
Mitch
