i suppose you're right. thanks for the guidance.

oh Fordy, thanks for that link. i've been trying to find an explaination on thet net about it, but couldnt find anything, thanks.

so would i be able to do character graphics in a console by using...

would i be able to comile dos stuff with borland or visual c++, i've never used them before, so i'm not sure.

I am trying to use the int86 (or _int86) function to use bios interrupts. it is not a ANSI standard function, but it should be available in most libraries.

I am using dev-c++ which uses the mingw...

my header file was fooked. everything about this problem is fine, thanks.

ok guys,

This has nothing to do with dos. it has to do with bios interrupts. the dos header file should contain the proper structs that i can use with the int86 function. that is all. however, my...

that's exactly what i did. i have made headers before, but this doesnt seem to be working.. strange

anyway, this is wierd, i pasted the structs and union into my actual source file and it compiles. :confused:

i dotn what to do this though, i want my register structs to be in a header file that...

no man, its a custom function that uses bios interrupts to get the time from cmos i think.

dev-c++. I should be able to compile it an any compiler, including borland and ms.

I also tried to include a file with


struct XREG {
unsigned int ax;
unsigned int bx;
unsigned int cx;...

What I am trying to do is play around with bios interrupts, while reading TYAC. I can't seem to declare the register structs. here is the code that i use:


#include <dos.h>
void current_date(...
