Hi, about the "DOS uses 'int' 0x25/0x26 as CALL FAR, so you have to POPF when you call it through INT" thread:
Several compilers TRANSPARENTLY handle this. I think DJGPP is among them. If you try to use the "25/26 ones" through int, it will automatically use DJGPP. Borland Turbo C has the absread() and abswrite() functions to do the access - you can use them with the "drive > 32 MB" argument blocks, so there is NO need to write a new function yourself to absread() big disks in Turbo C. Other compilers may have other issues. Eric. PS: Of course you have to provide the special argument block to absread() yourself. I only want to make clear that absread() itself can be used directly. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
