We are trying to recreate the UNIX signal SIGALRM on a pc running dos. We have the Metaware High-C compiler and are using the Pharlap linker to get memory extensions. What we need is to interrupt a running program after a specified interval. i.e., set timer to N seconds, start program, signal interrupts program after N seconds. Is there a way to do this in our environment. High-C says that you can't chain interrupt handlers in protected mode. If anyone knows a utility or routine that uses the timer in protected mode, please e-mail or post. Thanks. Larry Kaplan Ph (415) 335-1584 Fax (415) 967-9541 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
