Before you spend your money, take a look at the interrupt call listing available by anonymous FTP from SIMTEL20.ARPA as PD:<MSDOS.SYSUTL>INTERRUP.ARC It may be all that you need. The list is the most complete single listing available anywhere, if I do say so myself (I'm the maintainer). I'm still looking for PS/2 BIOS calls other than the video calls, if anyone would like to contribute and get his/her name enshrined in the list.... -- {harvard,uunet,ucbvax}!b.gp.cs.cmu.edu!ralf -=-=- AT&T: (412)268-3053 (school) ARPA: RALF@B.GP.CS.CMU.EDU |"Tolerance means excusing the mistakes others make.
