Yet again, it's plug time!

<PLUG>

libhw is designed to greatly ease the development of DJGPP hardware
interrupt handlers by providing all the common code everyone seems to
rewrite each time they create such a handler.

If you can be bothered to download the gcc sources and recompile with
a patch (there's a bug in gcc, you see) or download the patched
executables from the libhw page, libhw will work with DJGPP V2.00 or
V2.01 (fingers crossed)

libhw is available from "http://www.abwillms.demon.co.uk/prog/"

</PLUG>

Nobody's come back to me with bug reports yet, and several people have
tried libhw out, so if you have tried it and got a horrible crash or
other such bug, drop me an email before I submit it to The Powers That
Be for putting on DJ's site!

There may one day be a libsw for software interrupt tricks, too!

Thanx,


ABW
