    Go to the library, and look for any C programming reference carved on stone tables. It should have all the details of the ancient rituals you require.

    Can I ask why you're trying to program something from 20+ years ago, using a crappy, outdated compiler to boot?

    Find a new instructor is one option, because you're not going to be learning much of any use from the one you have.

    Asking them why they're still drawing a paycheck for teaching obsolete ideas is another option. Quite what you're going to do when you get into the real world is beyond me, because your "education" at the moment sure isn't going to prepare you for it.

    Asking them for all the required reference material you need is a third option. They're the keepers of the stone tablets, so go ask your tutors.

    The short fact is, most forums like this simply don't care enough about this old crap to even bother answering any more, even where we might know the answer.
    We hope (in time) that bone-headed tutors will eventually realise there is no more free support on the web, and actually start doing something to earn their pay.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    To create a .com file you must compile using the tiny memory model and link with the /t option. If you don't understand how to do this I suggest that you talk to your instructor. This compiler is over 30 years old and trying to make a TSR program that will run on today's operating systems is problematic.

    My friend... you need to get into a school that doesn't have dinosaur tracks on the parking lot!

    Terminate and Stay Resident programming died with MS-DOS, sometime in the mid-1980s... and they didn't work all that well, even then!

    Heh - TSR pretty much sums up the tutors as well.
    Terminate (learning anything new) and Stay Resident (in the college) until retirement.
