There was a discussion not long ago about the advantages/disadvantages of using CALL GATES rather than INTerrupts for OS calls. At the time, this was of little interest to me, but now that the articles have disapeared forever from my site, I find that I need to know the adv' / disadv'es. I don't want to re-open that can of worms on the net, so could someone e-mail me a summary. I'll pass any info I get on to anyone else who's interested (and asks me) thanks in advance, rob. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: Robert Hartill, Dept Of Computing Mathematics, UWCC, Cardiff, UK. :: :: e-mail : rhl@cm.cf.ac.uk Fax : 0222 666182 :: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities. -Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
