Wow, people still code in real mode. Awesome. :)

So lately I have been getting nostalgic and pulling out my old DOS source
code. I have the tools to get it working but I would like to see if I
can get the same version of Borland C++ that I used in the early 90s.

I have *cough* acquired a few versions of Turbo and Borland C++, and none
of them appear to be the version I used. I am consumed with finding it.
I am really really sure it was Borland C++ 2.0 (not Turbo C++), but I
have tried that and it doesn't seem to be quite the exact version I
used. The version I used was much like the 2.0 I have here, but the IDE
colours in this version can't be changed, and I changed mine in my
version 2.0. The menu layout and options and everything else appear to
be the same.

I checked TC++ 1, 2 and 3 and it's none of them. I checked BC++ 3.1 and
it's not it, but I don't have a copy of BC++ 3.0 to check. The

So is there a 2.0 professional or something that I don't know about?

Hi,

I am trying to make a small utility which can zero fill a hard drive.
I have done it with PIO mode but it takes a lot of time doing it.

Now, I am trying to use UDMA mode of the hard drive, but I don't know
where to start.

I really appreciate if you can give me some guides on doing it.

Thanks,

Hello, anyone wants to try my program.
It generates on every run 8 rows of six numbers.
So, you play almost all the numbers, (except one - never mind ;-)) )
It is difficult to play all the numbers only with the pen, difficult to find
what numbers you didn't play. So this program makes easy to do it.

I have more programs to upload in the future, stay tuned.

Good luck

I found this excellent High Speed Timer (in Pascal). I compiled it
(using Turbo Pascal 7 and it runs fine):

and same High Speed Timer here too:

I converted it to C (using p2c), compiled it using Borland C++ 4.5 and
it runs. But it crashes when it gets to setvect(...) in TimerOn.

Does anyone know how IRQ programming works in C? If you know IRQ timer/
clock please contact me. I need urgent help in understanding why it's
not working.

Below is my translated C code:
#include "p2c.h"
#include "extra.h"

#define TIMER_G
#include "timer.h"

#define MaxRate 1193180L

MI5 Persecution: BBC Newscasters Lie. & Deny They're Watching Me

Central to the persecution campaign waged against. me for some nine years
now by the Security Service is. their use of the media, and in particular
the broadcast media, to make clear to me that I. am under surveillance and
being watched within my own home, even by BBC. newscasters while they read
the news.. This is really an act of arrogance; MI5 and their tools in the
television and radio. are so sure that they can never be caught, that they
have many times. made explicity clear on broadcast programmes that they are
as capable of. seeing me as I am of seeing the broadcast pictures. Even
when they have known I am taping the programmes. they still carry on this
practice; for examples of TVand radio presenters caught "in. action", see
the. Evidence area of my website.

If you wish to reply to this. article......
then please include your name and. fax number! I provide the means for
recipients to send me their thoughts on. the topics discussed, but ask that
you provide me. with your fax number or email address if you require a
response. Also would you please send not more than one or. two pages, if by
fax.. Thank-you!

Four Years of "MI5 Persecution". Posts on Internet Newsgroups

For approximately the first three years of. the MI5 persecution, from June
1990 until late. 1992, I kept as quiet as possible, in the hope that by not
reacting, MI5s interest in. me would decrease and they would simply go away
of. their own accord. This is the sort of behaviour some people employ
against bullies; if the bullies arent getting a. reaction, then they might
simply go away and victimize. someone else.

Unfortunately, this tactic didnt work. The. quieter I became, the more
shrill and hysterical the noise from the. Security Service operatives. For
about two years I didnt watch TV news at all. Yet this only. heightened
their obsessed fixation; they continued to follow me wherever I went,. they
continued to induce harassment at work by managers and. fellow workers, and
they. continued to encourage me to commit suicide. They seemed to regard my
refusal to react as a crime which they. would have to "put right" by ever
more extreme forms. of abuse.

Somewhere between. 0 and 100%%

The last few days there have been no clear. recordable instances of
abuse. However, while travelling on the. Underground, while walking around
near my home and going to friends homes, I. am constantly troubled by
thoughts that those people over there might be. about to get at me; that
the couple sitting in the opposite seats. laughing are in fact laughing at
me; et cetera, et. cetera.

A comment by a. scientist to the BSE inquiry sticks in my mind. He
described the. possible scale of the epidemic as "between 0%% and 100%%". It
might not be. happening, it might not happen at all, to any discernable
degree.... or it might be total.. Without clear recording, which seems to
have. become impossible the last couple of weeks, there is no way of
knowing whether the harassment really is continuing, whether we. have
entered a temporary. hiatus, or whether perhaps it has perhaps stopped for
now.

Hello all,

I am programming an embedded controller that has a 'C' library for using
its system functions (I/O, timers, all the specific devices). The
supplied library has .LIB and .H files. Controller has i186-compatible
CPU and runs DOS-like OS. From what I gather, LIB is a collection of OBJ
files and its format is specified by OMF standard.

How can I dynamically load a LIB file and access all its functions?
Surely someone has solved similar task?

My intention is to use a Forth system for programming the controller,
calling library functions from it.

Hello,

I have a DOS-specific question about programming. Which is the right
newsgroup to ask it? I thought about comp.os.msdos, but it contains no
messages on my server.

Sincerely,
