If you are pressed, run or compile under a Linux DOS-emulation; if not, there is some adaptation according to the way the OS communicate with the devices, here: keyboard, for key scanning, and video. Under Linux you'll have the choice with solutions of a wide range of portaility - X-windows / full-screen PC / OpenGL... Anyway Jerry details it in his post. > ps. why are people still using DOS? :) Scandalous. They even buy that graphic interface, called mmmh... Win95 (or Win98 ?) that runs on top of it. More seriously: it's the most convenient solution with the PCs I have access to. Be reassured: the DOS on _my_ PC has a pre-emptive 32-bit multitasking kernel, so I can re-gnatmake an Ada program in background while hacking something else... In addition, it's ideal for making a cheap demo since it will run under Win9x, WinNT, OS/2, Linux,... -- Gautier
