I can't help with ASM, sorry. Have you looked at Brennan's guide, though? http://www.rt66.com/~brennan/djgpp, follow the links to his guide to DJGPP inline assembler. : Another problem (my machine has 24 Mb of RAM)... Yes, but you also have hard drive space free which your DPMI server is treating as virtual memory. This is completely transparent to your programs; your malloc works because the total amount of memory (physical+virtual) is enough to provide the block you requested. : /------ : Why (in protected mode) I have to import go32 for adressing the video : memory? Where can I find some good tutorials? Because it's protected, and you need to ask the DPMI server for permission to write there. I don't know about tutorials, but http://www.delorie.com/ has some links, and Brennan's DJGPP page (mentioned above) is invaluable. -- George Foot Merton College, Oxford
