Hi !


Can anyone tell me where can I get information on the various error
codes that DJGPP spits out ? I'm new to DJGPP and every time there's an
error message or a warning during build , I can't seem to understand it. 
I had been trying to fix up things by trial and error and I don't seem
to be doing a good job at it.

And how do I find out the meaning to words like SIGABRT or SIGSEGV ? And
what's all the stuff I get when the program crashes ? It looks like they
are the  values in the different registers . How can I know what does
that mean so that I can debug ??

Lastly , is it possible to have a pointer to a real mode function in
DJGPP ? (Like a pointer to VESA 1.2's bank swicthing function ?) How do
I get a pointer to it ?

Thanks in advance !
