Does bcc support 32bit pointers/addresses (like > the 'far' masm statement)? bcc ain't a DOS compiler. However, you can at least generate .com files with it using a little dd(1) trickery. See the pcemu port for how this can be done. Of course, you can also stuff the asm source into separate object modules if you don't prefer Bruce's inline asm suggestions. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
