[x] About 4 months ago, someone posted a small chunk of TURBO-3.0 code demonstrating how to use TURBO Pascal routines as interrupt handlers. I have been unable to contact the author (steka@hou2g) about his posting. As I remember, there were quite a few undocumented things that had to be done (like resetting the DS register inside the routine, as it might be interrupting a system routine and the DS would be different from what you expect). Now my question: Is there anyone out there who has had any experience with interrupt handlers in TURBO? The errors he cited were relatively serious, and should have been somewhat obvious to the designers at Borland. One would think that the READ.ME file would have at least mentioned this UNLESS they had figured out some way to make the compiler work the way the manual says it should work. Many thanks in advance, Larry
