Like I said, this code is 100% DPMI compatible protected mode code... So it uses very few, if any, INT calls, and uses the segment registers only as selectors. Do you still say a rewrite will be necessary, or is this a different story? --- T.A.G. 2.7c Standard* Origin: The Pharaoh's Tomb (203)264-4935 (1:141/1240) SEEN-BY: 105/42 620/243 711/401 409 410 413 430 807 808 809 934 955 712/407 SEEN-BY: 712/515 628 704 713/888 800/1 7877/2809 @PATH: 141/1240 1130 1135 3615/50 396/1 270/101 105/103 42 712/515 711/808 @PATH: 711/809 934 |
