Hi,

I got hold of some c functions that handle indexed files.

They compile OK, but when I try to link them to my source file I get the following error at link time:

Error 42: Symbol Undefined _int86


Is there a library I have to link to which defines this symbol ?

Thanks

Jimbob

_int86 is defined in the DOS runtime libraries.

Does that mean it can't be used in Win32?

That's right. The win32 operating system will not allow user level programs to do interrupts. You'll either need to compile the program as a dos program, or port it to the win32 api.

Any idea where I can find some libraries for implementing indexed files ??

What kind of indexed files do you want?
