I need to make a call to the DOS services, DIR for example. The manual has information about how to set the registers for low level IO but nothing on the services. Has anyone found a way to do this? If you had to set registers using a pointer to a string and then using the Janus/Ada "DOS_Call" function to generate an interrupt, how did this work? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am planning on giving the Janus people a call, so if their is interest, I can post any information I get to this newsgroup. Thanks. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Facca | fsfacca@avelon.lerc.nasa.gov | phone: 216-433-8318 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are at Witt's end.
