Hi,
I have a problem with the Zorland C compiler, aka Datalight-C or
NorthWest-C which I wondered if any netlander had previously encountered
and solved.
I have a program which works fine in small model but recently I had
to go to the data model (small code, large data) whereupon it hung my
XT clone. Tracing execution seems to indicate that the DOS software
interrupt routine INT86 may be the source of the trouble.
Has anyone seen problems with INT86 in D or L model programs? The
prospect of DEBUGging the interface between C and assembler does not
appeal to me.
BTW I have deliberately not given details of the program. I do not
want to debug it on the net. Please e-mail me only if you have
solid evidence of problems in the INT86 area.
thanks for any help you can give,
Andrew
