    You could use inline assembly, like

    Code:
    asm mov ah,0x00;
    asm mov al,0x13;
    asm int 0x10;
    Or you could use a function for that

    Code:
    union REGS regs;
    
    regs.h.ah = 0x00;
    regs.h.al = 0x13;
    int86(0x10, & regs, & regs);
    Note that this all is very compiler specific. I don't know if one of these or both work with DevC++.

    [edit]The spaces between & and regs should be removed, but when I write them without spaces, this &regs happens.[/edit]

    Neither works for me...

    If I use the assembly code, it compiles but when run, crashes. The other code doesnŽt compile.
    (using msvc++)

    Could be. The first one is inline assembly in Boraland C, the second one uses a Borland C specific function.

    The point was that you can use inline assembly or a specific function to call interrupts. How to do this is compiler dependent, consult the documentation of your compiler on how to do this.

    Also see this thread: http://www.cprogramming.com/cboard/s...ight=interrupt
