Hi, I'm trying to translate some of the snippets from snippets.org to d. I downloaded some snippets and tried them with dmc, and basically they worked. However I couldn't get int86 to work (I have WinXP). I thought maybe I could get it to work in D, but it didn't anyway (I did translate part of dos.h). Any idea of how I could do it? ------------------------- Carlos Santander Hi, I'm trying to translate some of the snippets from snippets.org to d.

All you really need to do is replace the C calling convention with the D calling convention in it. Or I'm misunderstanding the problem.

Maybe you are. I created dos.d with a line
extern (C) int int86(int,REGS *,REGS *);
and I previously defined REGS, but when I compile the program, I get "Error
42: Symbol Undefined _int86". The same happens when I try to compile a
similar program using dmc.

The same happens when I try to compile a similar program using dmc. Error 42 is not a compiler error, it's a linker error. I suspect you haven't supplied the body of the function int86() to the linker.

What memory model are you using? int86() accesses interrupts, which is not available to Win32 memory model programming.

I don't know, I really don't. Well, I guess I'll leave it there. I wanted int86() because I wanted to implement some (portable) functions for the console.

But if int86() is not available, is there any other option? Win32 has a whole slew of functions to manipulate the console - but none of it is portable. But you can use the DMC portable shell around them, www.digitalmars.com/rtl/disp.html

No platform that D supports will ever have access to the bad-old-days DOS int86 functions. You'll have to figure out what the particular int86 function calls are supposed to do, and re-write them using standard functions.
