Hi!

I have to write the assembly language interrupt handler to interface
a piece of hardware with my DJGPP compiled C++ program.
The interrupts rate is so high (up to 20 kHZ), that I have to install
both real mode and protected mode handlers. Additionally, due to
the complicated data processing I have to write it in assembly language
(NASM I think). 
Unfortunately, although there are some information about the interrupt
handlers written in C language (even in DJGPP-faq - chapter 18),
I couldn't find anything about using the assembly language interrupt
handlers. How to write them, to interface them smoothly with the rest
of C program? How to access handler's data from the C program.
How to write "dual mode handler" (code which may be executed both in
real and in protected mode)?
Any help or pointers to sources of information is appreciated.

				TIA
