Date: 19 Sep 1996 19:09:50 GMT Organization: GoodNet Lines: 7 Message-ID: <51s5pu$qug@news.goodnet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: goodnet.com To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp I was just wondering what it means for something to run at 'ring-0' or 'ring-3'. What are these rings? Are there any good books that explain what these rings are? Thanks. Josh snarfy AT goodnet DOT com
