Yo Tom. How ya doin' ?!
On that very specific day, Tuesday February 18 1997 at 18:03,
Tom Torfs had the guts to write to Bart Huylebroeck, the following :
 JG>>>> I read somewhere that FS stands for Frame Segment. Do you know
 JG>>>> what GS stands for?
 BH>> It means Gate Segment, and it's a protected-mode register.
 TT> Where did you read that ? GS is perfectly usable in real mode, too.
In the very "PC Intern 4". My mind *may* be cheating on me, ofcourse, but I 
really thougt it was.
Probably you can access it in Real mode to make sure it has the right value 
BEFORE you switch to protected mode, and can therefore be used as a general 
segment register ?
I could just *slap* myzelf for not having My "PC Intern" handy. This whole 
week I've been trying to do some asm programming and I never had the chance 
of checking something in the Bible, just because I was stupid enough to 
forget it at home ... grawl !
And another bunch of books: "TSR programming", "Norton's guide to asm", "De 
kleine asm gids". All standard works everone should have.
(or borrow, in the library :) )
Tsjaow, Tom !
