I am developing using Borland C++, if I want to make use of the pseudo-variables for registers (such as _AX, _BX ...), will it be impossible to port to MSC later? (In other words, does MSC support such variables?) Bryan

With MSC 6.0 the port will not be impossible. MSC 6.0 supports inline assembler instructions that can access the registers (8086 only not 80386). You can use the inline assmebly to move data to and from registers from and to variables. Of course inline assembly has more power than that but that minimal ability is enough to get your job done. Also: several routines that access bios/dos return structures that have the register values. -- ===================================================================== eversole@cadence.com Live long and prosper !
