The book you have referenced contains code for strictly 16-bit real mode. I think I have heard this book may have been released with DJGPP on the CDROM, which would be very misleading, if true. (I have a copy of this book, but it does not have DJGPP). DJGPP is a 32-bit, protected mode compiler. Section 17 of the FAQ will give you a hint about what you are up against and a good reference to Matt Mastracci's tutorial for using NASM to do what you want in Intel syntax. If you really want to do this in 16-bits, there are plenty of sites on the web for "borrowing" the older tools (for educatonal purposes only). -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
