OK now, so I think you answered my question about interupts in Linux (a.k.a.
UNIX.)  But are interupts called on the microcode level, so that int 21 will
be the same on all IBM 'puters?  Or can the OS developers name int 21
somthing else?  Is assembly the same on all OS's if there on IBM's.  Kind of
a weird question, I hope it fits here.
