Hello Denis,
BB> This version is called SYSREQ.ASM
 DB> I'll keep you informed of things when I go over it in more detailed.
     Good news.
 DB> [Captains log, supplemental. :)
     Cute :)
 DB> preserve them all, starting with CS:SS!.
     Right. I was confusing the stack with the program pointer.
     I never done much with the stack, really.
     I'm going to try this and crash the machine a few more times.
 DB>  Another thing which seems to be a problem, is the "memory allocation
 DB>  error" thing.
 DB>  I imagine some kind of swaping system would be in order...
      The best program I have found to handle these problems is called 
hroom.
      You might be able to find it on Simtel. If you're unaware of it...
