Yes, but that's not the problem, you simply don't need to call such programs. The main problem is, as soon as you call BIOS or something it goes *poof* because the called code assumes a 16-bit-code-segment. So probably the first timer/keyboard/harddisk/whatever interrupt would already crash you. That's what I said. Vinzent. -- Anything is good and useful if it's made of chocolate.
