Hi,

How can I test for a key press in an inline assembly loop in DJGPP? I tried
using a __dpmi_int call, which works fine for int 16h function 0x00 which
waits until a key is pressed, then continues, so my interrupt setup seems to
work. But when I try function 0x01 of int 16h, which sets the zero flag if a
key has been pressed, how can I test the flags set by an int executed for me
by __dpmi_int? 'Cause it seems that __dpmi_int alters them on exit of
itself?

Is there a way to do this? If I am on the wrong track then - how can I test
for a keypress in inline DJGPP assembler??

Please reply by mail if at all possible!

Fanx!
