Someone I know is just beginning to do some lower level programming on a PC. I am looking for references which describe the segment:offset in the 80x86 family processors. I learned this so long ago I can't remember the reference I used or if I picked it up on the fly. Thanks for any information.-- Jim Vallino Siemens Corporate Research, Princeton, NJ jrv@siemens.siemens.com princeton!siemens!jrv (609) 734-3331

Since I work for a firm which uses chips, we get all these sort of manuals for free. There may be other books which give more examples or verbage, but if you want the ABSOLUTE last word in accurate information, this is it.
