Good day all, I'm looking (rather urgently now!) for any references (articles in magazines/journals) &/or books (title, author, publisher etc) that my suitably cover the topic of "h/ware support provided by i386 based computers (note, not JUST the i386, but its total integration into a computer system), for execution of high-level, block-structured programming languages & for the implementation of a suitable programming environment" (eg: OS (preferably Unix based), editors, debuggers, graphics etc). I know it's a pretty broad & ill-defined area, but I need the info. to cover such broad areas like: How areas such as: 1) simple data types (chars, integers, floating point etc), 2) structured data types (strings, arrays, records, files etc), 3) control structures (loops, procedures, tasks etc), 4) environment (os shells, editors etc), 5) graphic support (more h/ware based), 6) any other h/ware supported features... .. are dealt with (or not!) by the i386 & assoc. possible h/ware. Could get ugly couldn't it? Thanks, ============================================================== Richard Siggs Computer Science Dept., Adelaide University, South Australia.
